I'm planning to build a PC in about a month and I'm debating whether to buy an RTX 5080 now or wait. I've heard that Nvidia is increasing prices on the 5090. Will this impact the pricing of the 5080 as well? Should I make the purchase now or hold off?

Honestly, I'd recommend looking into the RTX 5070 Ti instead. If you were considering the 5090 originally, going for the 5080 might feel underwhelming. It might be better to save your cash for a future upgrade instead!
Yeah, if I were you, I'd buy it now while there’s still stock. You don't want to miss out and end up paying even more later!
If you really want the RTX 5080, I'd suggest buying it right away. It's worth noting that as soon as I decided to get one, the model I wanted went out of stock, and I'm aiming to grab it next week if it becomes available again!
The availability of RAM has been a huge factor affecting all consumer electronics, particularly GPUs. If you're set on getting the 5080, I’d say go for it now before prices potentially go even higher.
Totally agree. I've also decided to buy one soon because it feels like the demand is really picking up.
I just want to point out that prices have already gone up since I bought mine in late October. If you're thinking about waiting, you might end up spending more later on.
Hopefully, the model I want comes back in stock soon. It's frustrating!
Yeah, I've been eyeing one too. Seems like there's a rush to get these GPUs!
