Building a PC, should I wait for the boxing day sales etc?

[trif]

I've just about finalised my rig thanks to the great guys on here,

I'm now wondering if I should order bits now (I'll be flat out busy till boxing day probably anyway) or if I should wait till the after Christmas sales?

Is there even much in the way of price drops for component parts?

It depends on what parts you are looking to buy. I dont believe the skylakes will drop at all. But they're will probably be some good deal on the AM3+ side. What components are you looking for?

I'd wait, there's nothing to lose! Certain parts have rebates, and promos like nvidias bullets or blades combo(gives you r6siege or AC on 900 series cards).

Could always wait and see. I could be wrong. But its the newest architechture out from intel. I think they will keep the prices similar to what they are already. There will probably be better deals on Motherboards and newer ones come out
