I'm finally looking to upgrade my ancient 1080 setup by late next year so I'm trying to plan ahead for the 2026 sales. Got about $600 saved up for the card and mostly gonna be doing 1440p stuff.
I was checking some old threads and people say Newegg is the spot for price drops but then I see all these horror stories about their returns lately so I'm hesitant to trust them. Best Buy seems more reliable but their online stock usually disappears in seconds and I live way out in the sticks so I cant just drive to a store. Which retailers do you guys think are actually gonna have the best 2026 Cyber Monday deals for online buyers?
Newegg has really gone downhill lately and their return process is a total nightmare. I had issues with a DOA board and it was basically impossible to get help. Stick to B&H Photo or Amazon for the 2026 sales instead.
To add to the point above: totally agree on skipping Newegg! Last year I bought a board there that arrived smashed and it was a nightmare.
Like someone mentioned, skip Newegg. Over the years, I have found B&H much safer for reliability.
