I am aware of the price increase of DDR4. So, is Corsair 8GB 2666Mhz for $70 a good deal? I want a build I'm planning by August, so is it best to buy now before prices rise?

RAM prices won't drop until DRAM manufacturers complete their migration to 17-20nm, get their yields back in order and catch up with demand backlog. That might not happen until some time in 2018.

RAM prices have already risen quite a bit due to DRAM manufacturers running into issues converting some of their production lines to 17-20nm, the mobile market consuming a growing chunk of the DRAM supply, DRAM manufacturers converting production lines to other more profitable products, many people deciding to upgrade their 5+ years old PCs and a few other random things sprinkled on top such as an explosion near a Samsung fab disrupting production for a while.
