I actually just bought parts for and built a new PC this week after waiting a little while to see how prices were going to fluctuate. I built a PC for gaming, so my situation might be different from yours. I decided to do it now instead of waiting because prices aren't doing anything but go up, especially when it comes to dedicated graphics cards and SSDs. I bought a high-end graphics card because I predicted that its price would only go up, not down, no matter what kind of sale event is happening, along with all the other graphics cards that aren't as "powerful." I DID get some discounts for "back to school" as well as a cashback special from ASUS for my motherboard. Also, I saved a ton of money by buying a motherboard without onboard WIFI or Bluetooth. I just bought adapters which came out cheaper in my case. I encourage you to check up on the latest news about computer components and pricing. I think you'll notice what I did: prices for certain components are only going to increase in the next few months (and the next year). It's kind of like when there's a gas crisis. If you suspect gas prices are only going to increase, you fill up your gas tank every day to save money, even if your gas tank is 3/4 full. I preferred to pay what I did for the graphics card now instead of paying more later. Anyway, I'm just telling you what I've done to help you decide how you want to proceed. I'm not telling you that you have to do it this way.
