Hey everyone! I have a quick question for you all. I was looking to buy a budget GPU, specifically the RX 7600, but it seems like I missed out on the better sales. The current price I'm seeing is about $349.99 with only a $19 discount, which doesn't feel like a great deal. Should I hold off until Boxing Day or Cyber Monday, or just go ahead and buy whatever is available now? I appreciate any advice you can give!

It really depends on the sale price you're seeing. If it’s within $50 of the MSRP, that’s usually a decent deal. Just a heads up, good GPU deals are rare these days unless you’re looking at secondhand options. Given the current market, if you find a model you like near MSRP, it’s generally a solid choice to buy now instead of waiting.
Honestly, I don’t think we’ll see many great GPU deals soon. If you're okay with waiting a bit, you could hold out for Cyber Monday, but I wouldn't expect significant price drops in just a week. There are rumors that the RAM shortage might affect GPU availability later on, so just be cautious if you're thinking of delaying your purchase too long.
Yeah, I heard about the RAM shortages as well. Sounds risky to wait!
Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind.
