^ This. PCPartPicker is a lifesaver. In my experience tho, you gotta be careful with some price apps... some are just data miners. I've tried many over the years and usually stick to these:

• Google Shopping: Solid for Best Buy alerts but can be slow.
• Slickdeals: Great for flash sales but lots of noise. I always use a free price tracker for a quick sanity check before buying. Dont wanna get scammed by fake discounts.

• Karma works great for tracking Best Buy and Newegg.
• PCPartPicker alerts are faster than most apps. In my experience, these two are the best combo for PC parts.

Just found this thread. Honestly, manual checking is a total trap. When I did my last build, I used my current setup which relies on an app that monitors forum posts and price leaks for specific keywords.

• pings hit my phone instantly
• caught prices before stock evaporated
• filtered out junk sellers The one I got worked perfectly for catching those weirdly low midnight sales and I dont miss having to refresh tabs.

Saving this whole thread. So much good info here you guys are awesome.

Dude congrats on the dream build! Building a PC is seriously the best feeling ever, you are gonna love it! Honestly, if you want something super smooth on iOS that actually tracks multiple stores, just go with Klarna. Their price tracking feature is fantastic and it works on basically any store you can think of, not just Amazon. Capital One is another solid brand for this, but Klarnas mobile app is just way more user-friendly for quick notifications. You cant go wrong with either of those brands honestly, they make mobile tracking so much easier than trying to deal with clunky desktop extensions on your phone. random tip but Cart to Link is great if you want to send someone your exact Amazon cart without copy-pasting every item
