[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 888016"] For me typically fall/winterish. As it's already been said, a lot of the new hardware, CPUs, motherboards, GPUs, typically come out around the summer, early fall time frame. So usually just before and a little bit after, prices begin to drop on the previous gen stuff. As, you've said, it's constantly changing, to if your waiting to get the latest and greatest, you'll never buy a computer because there will always be better on the horizon. Your typical holiday sales are also a good time to get one. Assuming you don't need to get the newest stuff, you can score some pretty good deals on last year's models. As to Wifi 6, if your computer comes with it, I would just get it then upgrade your router later when they come down in price. That way you will be good to go when your get your new router. Or, you can just get a Wifi 6 Pci card and add to your desktop later, it's really up to you. One big factor right now though is everything going on with COVID19. The supply is so low that the prices are rising, so in IMHO unless you need it right now, I would just wait till the end of the year, hopefully supply will be a little better by then. [/QUOTE]
