Are there any key times in the year to buy a new computer where prices are low? Like January? Or are prices consistent?

They can change weekly, because people put on random sales, or offer rebates, free shipping events, ect
I used this site, it gives the best prices for a part and tells compatibility between parts chosen:

You typically want to buy just as new technologies are being released -- that makes prices go down all existing products which are now a generation behind. In several different places, I've heard Quarter 3 is a good time for computers generally just based on when Intel releases new processors / chipsets. That said, you can get good deals at most times during the year -- it's just looking for sales / promotions vs. paying sticker price.
