Hey everyone! I'm currently using my handheld gaming device as my main gaming setup and I'm considering building a proper gaming PC. I'm wondering if I should hold off on buying the parts and wait for prices to drop, or if there's a chance the prices will keep rising. Any thoughts? Thanks!

How long are you willing to wait? From what weโ€™re seeing, it looks like prices arenโ€™t going to drop anytime soon. In fact, things might get worse before they get better.

If you donโ€™t urgently need a new PC, it might be worth waiting. Just keep in mind that the wait could be quite long, itโ€™s tough to say for sure.

Honestly, it might be better to wait until the end of the year to see if prices drop a little. Realistically, it could take 1-2 years for prices to improve significantly, but we may never see those ultra-low prices like we used to for certain components, like DDR5 or NVMe drives.
