First off, here is my build. I finally saved up enough for the Strix 1080ti and am ready to buy it, however my plan was to wait until cyber monday. Is it worth the wait? Assuming there will even be any available that close to christmas. I have seen short term drops recently as low as 719 which is why i'm asking. In short, should I watch it and buy it at the best price ASAP, or wait until cyber monday?

the 1080 ti will sell out before thanksgiving, if you don't have a gpu, just buy it now, definitely not worth waiting, although if you are gonna pay 800dollars for one, think hard about a 2080 ti for 1150 usd,

thanks, I think i'll jump on the 1080ti when it gets restocked at Amazon. I think I'll wait until next gen ray tracing before I commit to it. I know it performs better than the 1080ti across the board, but keep in mind I'm currently running a Strix notebook with a 1050 in it so a 1080ti will be like night and day to me hahaha.

Nice looking build my man, almost identical to the one my friend just recently purchased (for his FIRST PC), great minds think alike haha

Thanks man, appreciate it. It's gone through some changes over the past few weeks but I think I finally chose all the parts I want to go with. Already bought the case and the cpu cooler. I'll get it all together here soon.
