Computer equipment prices before / after Christmas?

Honestly, the longer you wait the better. Prices for computers are always dropping, and the hardware is just getting better and better. I paid 3500$ for my computer parts when I built it like 3.5 years ago, and now I could get the same computer for probably 700$ . If you can hold on, just keep waiting(that way you can also save up more money so you can get something a bit better). But to answer your question, prices on everything drop after Christmas because the stores try to get people to keep buying, when a lot of people don’t have any money left to spend, so they cut down their prices.
