Monitor price drop schedule?

[LetsPlayThisBro]

There is a season for buying GPU's or CPU's, and I'm sure there is a season to buy monitors at the most reasonable prices?

Example, the new gen 1000 series Nvidia GPU's are dropping soon, good time to buy either that, or a used 900 series. When is that due to happen for monitors?

Ideally I want to get into a 27" either 1080p or 1440p 144hz monitor for as low a price as possible, and I don't view monitors as something I'd be willing to buy used, so what time of year should I be actively shopping for it? 4k monitors dropping soon near the 1000 series GPU's being released? Back to school? Christmas?

I'm willing to wait until early next year, I just want an idea for when I'm gonna see the best pricing so I know when I should jump vs when I should wait.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'll take a wild guess and say you'll have three big events seeing price drops this year, I believe.

#1 Around August for Back-2-School Sales
#2 About 1 week before Thanksgiving for Black Friday Sales
#3 After Christmas for Year-End/Inventory Clearance Sales

That's kinda where I thought it would land as well, because there doesn't seem to be an event like CES where a handful of manufacturers announce their new products like you'd find with CPU's/GPU's.

November-december you see price drops since new models come out in the first couple of months of the new year along with tvs. Since black friday is all month now, that is usually when I see the lowest. Back to school aren't really good sales. They are like normal year round sales for pc parts. Maybe for laptops.

Cool, because now that I've determined I'm not interested in the 1000 series of GPU's I figure this year I'll just focus on a new monitor and case/cooling, then when Intel drops their new CPU's look into upgrading from my DDR3 z97 setup to DDR4. I'll wait till 2018 for a new GPU.

They do "kind of" relate like that, the marketing and timing of selling it might not, but I am not going to upgrade my GPU when I"m on a 1080p 24" 60hz monitor, so the timing between monitor drops and GPU drops should coincide a bit for it to make any sense in my book. But the gap does give us a chance to alternate between upgrades rather than getting hit with both at the same time. My 970 drives my rig just fine as it stands, after I upgrade my monitor, THEN it would make sense to think about upgrading my GPU. So they are related, "kind of"
