Save 24% on a 1,000W PSU pre-order with this rare Black Friday deal
What has the world come to when we have to pre-order our PSUs? Well, for anyone planning on building a rig around an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT, it may be worth your while to get $60 off this 1000W, 80+ Platinum-rated brick.
It may not be the most exciting deal around this Black Friday, but every PC needs a PSU, and getting money off always feels good. The plain fact of it is that buying a new PSU for your rig has become as tough as trying to get your hands on an Nvidia RTX 3080. And I should know, my pre-order for that isn't going to appear until sometime in April at this rate. But you'll get your PSU shortly after its release date of December 27.
