Question How should I approach buying PC parts with the whole coronavirus situation?

[Fusion1005]

I was planning on building a PC later this year, wanting to wait for Ryzen 4000 to come out. However with this whole coronavirus situation, there's a good chance that its launch will get delayed.

So basically, I have 2 options:

A. Buy my PC parts now because its supply is going to go down if I wait, driving the prices up for whatever little supply I can get my hands on.

B. Wait for Ryzen 4000 to come out and buy my PC parts then, hoping it doesn't get delayed too much and that prices for other components will be back to somewhat normal levels.

Which one should I go with?

We cannot predict the future, so I can't give an accurate prediction.

However, I would wait for Rzen 4000. I doubt it will be delayed much.

The coronavirus is far overblown in my opinion. People 10-49 years old makeup around only 1% of the people that died from it so far. Really only the elderly are affected significantly.

Far less than cancer or plague as some make it out to be. Also, a vaccine is already in development.
