Best time to Buy Computer Parts?

[ProSlayer]

Hey, I didn't know where to post this so I guess I will post it here. I plan to build a computer and buy parts from newegg in the near future, and was wondering when would be the best time to buy? I can wait up until after christmas but I heard After-Thanksgiving sales are the best. What do you think?

After thanksgiving and after christmas.

right after they come out with something new you can buy yesterdays technology cheaper.

After next generation components have been released.

So would it be a good idea to buy the parts the week after thanksgiving? Since the DX10 cards will be released by then. Is it worth waiting for Kentsfield?

Always in a short while from now.

personally i like to sit on a pile of cash and take 6 months to get all the parts in time. ie.. wait for the great deal on individual parts

but hey thats just me i have more time than money

Check Hot Deals daily for parts you want?

Well the new dx10 cards are supposed to hit the market in November, and prices will likely fall a bit after Christmas, so if you want lower prices on the latest and greatest you may want to wait a while. If you are in need of an upgrade and wanting a good video card, but aren't concerned about whether or not its dx10 then buy after the dx10 cards are on the market. Prices will always fluctuate so it probably doesn't matter that much when you buy the new components.
