  1. Buy used or refurbished parts: You can often find good deals on used components like cases, RAM, storage drives, and air coolers. Just be sure to buy from reputable sellers or vendors
  2. Look for budget-friendly alternatives: For many components, there are more affordable options that still offer good performance. For example:
    • Opting for an Intel i3 processor instead of an i5 or i7
    • Choosing a more budget-friendly graphics card like a GTX 1050 Ti
    • Selecting cheaper but reliable brands for cases, power supplies, etc.
  3. Salvage parts from older PCs: You may be able to reuse components like cases, power supplies, or storage drives from older systems
  4. Shop sales and compare prices: Use price comparison tools and websites to find the best deals across multiple retailers. Sites like PCPartPicker can be helpful for this
  5. Consider previous-generation hardware: Slightly older models of CPUs and GPUs can often provide good performance at a lower cost.
  6. Prioritize essential components: Focus your budget on the most critical parts for your needs (e.g. CPU and GPU for gaming) and economize on less crucial elements
  7. Buy from budget-friendly retailers: Some users recommend stores like Micro Center (if you have one nearby) or online retailers like Newegg for competitive pricing
  8. Be strategic about timing: PC component prices can fluctuate, so waiting for sales events or new product launches can sometimes lead to better deals on older models.
This is a bump
