Planning a new build

[UBatcha]

So i'm planning a new build but its not 100% needed right now so I was going to probably wait for a big sale like black friday/even christmas. OR i've heard news of new graphics cards being released that could push other prices down? Can anyone give me recommendations on whether waiting is even worth it.
1. Are the sales even good enough to warrant waiting half a year

2. Would new products push the prices of older products down enough to warrant waiting

 

btw I used logicalincrements.com for my attempt at planning a build. I currently play on ps4 and want to move to pc to play AAA titles at 1080p at least and then 60fps at least. Here's my latest attempt at a build:

 

GTX 1060 3GB

i5 8400 | R5 2600

Gammaxx 400 cooler

MSI Z370 gaming plus | msi X470 Gaming Plus

Team Vulcan 8gb RAM (2x 4gb)

2TB HDD

120GB SSD

Seasonic SS-620GM2

NZXT S340

You might not need to wait half a year. 2-3 months should be enough.

If your budget can only afford these things, then yes.

RX 570s and 580s are only slightly more expensive than 1060 3gb, with Freesync support and less problem with VRAM. I'd look for those.

 

i5-8400 is better for a gaming build. You need expensive high frequency memory (3200MHz) to make Ryzen 2600 that fast in games, which punches up the cost a lot.

My budget is around £1000, I'm from the UK so I don't know how much different pricing is in canada/us compared to here. I was looking at a RX 570 and in general the 1060 3gb outperforms it slightly so i assumed it would be the better option
