Thinking of buying a new PC case, should I wait until after CES?

calumdonian

Hello all,

 

I'm currently looking to upgrade to a Corsair 460x RGB case however I'm contious that CES is only a couple weeks away.

Should I buy it now or is there a chance that after CES, prices could drop even slightly with new products released?

 

 

I suspect not however thought it wouldn't hurt to ask :)

 

Thanks, Calumdonian

I don't think u shoul wait cause the price drop (if they even occure) aren't that much.

Cases are really a choice of personal style and use. If you really like the 460x I would go for it, but if that's just your top choice I would wait, there might be a shinyer one then esspecially since CES is I think 6 days away

Ryzen may be launched or release dates confirmed at CES. I think the 7-10 day wait is worthwhile

 

EDIT- Read over case in your title, still worth it Imo

Do you need to upgrade to a new case right this very moment? Holding off might be wise, and even if it doesn't bring anything to the table that's worthy to you, the 460x will likely still be available(and perhaps at a lower price).

Yeh I think I'll probably wait, the 460x is at the upper end of my budget for this upgrade so holding off I guess won't really hurt.
