Navigating the Black Friday Maze: Advice from Our PC Build Guru

Meet Jaco, our lead system builder. With hands-on experience building thousands of custom rigs, he knows a real deal from a dud. 🚀

"Everyone gets fixated on the graphics card," Jaco explains, "and while it's crucial, a powerful GPU is useless without a solid foundation. This Black Friday, look at the whole build." He advises paying close attention to the motherboard's VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules) and the PSU's efficiency rating. A cheap power supply can be a system's downfall.

"A great strategy is to look for deals on core components that were released in the last 12-18 months. They offer fantastic performance for the price, especially during a sale." Before you finalise your dream build, see what's fresh on the market by checking out our latest component arrivals. Often, a new release can drive down the price of the previous generation, creating a sweet spot for value.

The Laptop Lowdown: Finding Power on the Go 💻

Thandi, our laptop specialist, helps customers find the perfect portable powerhouse every single day. Her advice for Black Friday is simple: think about your actual use case.

"A massive discount on a gaming laptop with an RTX 4080 is tempting," Thandi says, "but if you only play esports titles and need good battery life for varsity, it's overkill." She stresses the importance of the display. "Look for specs like sRGB coverage for creative work or a 144Hz+ refresh rate for competitive gaming. A beautiful screen makes every interaction better."

She also warns against being lured by a high-end CPU paired with minimal RAM. "8GB of RAM is the absolute minimum today. For a smooth experience, 16GB is the sweet spot." To see what a balanced machine looks like, browse our current top laptop specials to get a feel for good spec combinations. And if you want the absolute latest tech, you can always check out the newest models to see what features are becoming standard.

Unlocking the Best South African Tech Deals: A Strategist's View

Mike is one of the masterminds behind Evetech's deals. He lives by one rule: preparation is everything. "Don't go into Black Friday blind," he warns. "Make a wishlist and set a budget before the sales go live. It’s the single best way to avoid impulse buys you'll regret."

He also notes that the best deals aren't always on the flagship products. "Sometimes the biggest percentage saving is on peripherals... a high-quality mechanical keyboard, a gaming mouse, or a high-resolution monitor. These upgrades can transform your entire experience for a fraction of the cost of a new PC."

TIP FOR YOU

Compatibility Check 🔧

Before you click 'buy' on that shiny new GPU, double-check its dimensions against your PC case and ensure your Power Supply Unit (PSU) has enough wattage and the right connectors. A great deal isn't so great if it doesn't fit! Use online PSU calculators to be 100% sure.
