Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Assuming prices are the same: The one from Staples unless you need that extra TB of storage. Dual Channel RAM is underated.

I don't think so, you can check your order status online

it says picked up but nothing got updated since Sunday, fedex told me that I should be getting it shabbos, but nothing came, my question is if there is a possibility that it should say picked up and nothing went out?

They said it was cancelled because of a bad configuration. Then he redid the order.
