Would recommend asking closer to your buy date as computer part prices are highly volatile and change daily and new technologies will be out by then compared to now.

Now is a pretty bad time to buy unfortunately. If you're able, I'd wait until prices drop...I'm already seeing some pretty good deals on AMD CPU's. Maybe buy compatible parts as you see sales pop up?

Do not buy anything now except maybe a case/cpu cooler. Literally everything else has a good chance of being way outdated this fall by the same price components
