To be honest, i'd rather wait 6 months if that means the prices are not completly fucked.

I'm currently building a pc for my kid and i had to go to a DDR3 system from 2014 to have decent prices. The market is so screwed right now.

    An i7 4970K (DDR3) or similar CPU can actually be decent in 2026 for gaming.

    Would be ideal to release with the price they need it to be and do a price cut later but I know that's difficult to do realistically.

    We're not getting any younger here. Prices have been creeping up for a while and the longer we wait, the idea of saving a few hundred dollars might end up being a wash with inflation and time lost. Also, there's no guarantee prices won't be even higher in 6 months.
