I'll be buying a new computer in June 2017, and I will be buying an SSD (250 or 500 GB) and 16 GB DDR4 RAM. Will the prices ramp up a lot in 6 months, considering the recent news on the low supply of DRAM? Should I buy now or wait?

I'd personally wait until you either A) Have the money and want the purchase or B) find a sale/deal that you just cant pass up.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

No way to know but I read that there is a shortage just now and the price is going up.

Ehhh I doubt the price will keep on climbing, maybe it's just a thing now but half a year...we can't predict but I do believe that it is in the industry's best intention to get the DRAM supplies back up. And maybe there will be something new and important coming out in the next 6 months.

 

tldr: we cant know

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

I'd wait personally, you could change your mind in 6 months about what you are planning too.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
