It's up to you but Linus put out a video recently saying the corona virus has hit production in china and so supply and demand issues will push prices up.

 

So it might be better to buy things now before they do.

It depends. 

 

What's your use case, do you currently have adequate equipment? How budget sensitive are you?

 

Me at age 15 had near 0 budget and I had to time around releases and look for sales. 

 

Me right now could buy current  (overkill) rig dozens of times over. 

 

 

 

my budget is very flexible but i dont wanna buy now and then in a few month i could have got the same for much cheaper

The consensus recently is that there has not been much of a price drop as the new cards go in at a higher price point.

 

This is a double whammy for consumers, is it likely to change? I can’t predict that...
