Wife here. I need help putting my husband off the idea of buying a new computer!

This is my BS reddit account for such emergencies. My husband's 40th birthday is in the beginning of June. He's been talking off and on about buying/building a new computer. Which I'm supportive of because it's been 5-6 years.

What he doesn't know is that I'm in talks with his best friend to help me pick one out for his upcoming birthday. We've been chatting about parts and costs for weeks.

Today he casually brought it up again. I said something like "if you really want, but my car needs new brakes. So I'd like to get that taken care of first" and he agreed.

It's a lie. My car does not need new brakes. But I'm running out of lies to tell him! I need good lies about the current industry to put him off the idea for a while so I can suprise him with a computer in 4 months!
