Hey guys, I was wondering whether I should wait for any price drops or sales for components, e.g. i5-4690k CPU or the R9 280x GPU.

Thanks! I can wait till around mid December or so? dunno

you may see some drops closer to the holidays, but i recall reading somewhere that parts tend to crawl up around now... keep an eye on logicbuy.com and set up price alerts on pcpartpicker.com to alert when things drop to a certain point.

Not sure what will be on sale for black friday- cyber monday type deals.

Right now there are some steals like a r9 290 MSI gaming for 260! But black Friday will have some pretty good deals for sure. And due to the holiday season newegg will have a sale just about every other day. I expect the market to be in flux till about mid or end of January because Nvidia just released new stuff and the holiday season. So its a gamble. Prices could go any direction
