So, I recently sold my pc for a great profit and have enough for a 1400 ish usd build (including headset, monitor and mouse). Is it better to buy my parts now and swap out my gpu latter or wait for black Friday and stay until november without a pc but get a much better one?

it depends on what you're looking to buy. I've seen some items priced better than their black friday prices from last year. Generally it would be better to wait, but I would keep looking for good deals now too. For example I saw an external 8TB drive for $170 a few weeks ago, that same drive was $200 on black friday. It's not something you would need for your build, but it's an example of sale prices now vs black friday. Another example is this 4k monitor https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160278 it's on sale now. Idk what the black friday price was, but I don't think it would be much less than the sale now.

AMD could release Vega and Threadripper but not sure if NVidia wants to release something yet

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
