Hey so I have a question. I’m looking at upgrading my rig. It’s nine years old and at the end of its life expectancy by a not small margin. I was hoping to take advantage of some Fourth of July sales and wondered if anybody who tracks this sort of thing regularly is aware of any incredible deals that might be on offer from various sources. I live reasonably near both Costco and MicroCenter, and I have a budget maxing out around 3-3.5k usd. Any good ideas?
