Apart from the very occasional bundle, I can’t remember the last time we recommended a deal on a CPU. Monitors, yes. Gaming PCs, definitely. But not CPUs, because however well-priced they are, it’s hard to recommend a system upgrade when buying the rest of the system needed to go along with it is so damn…
