The best time to buy is coming up next month.  If you can wait, the week 
of Thanksgiving should be a good time to buy and of course there is 
Black Friday and all the Christmas sales.  I only buy during back to 
school and Thanksgiving forward to Christmas.

You can also subscribe to the weekly sales flyer from Staples and Office 
Max / Office Depot.

I've been able to save some cash doing so.

I always buy Dell and have not had any problems running Linux on them.

I've been buying Intel for the past 8 years. AMD is Good, I just like 
Intel.
