I'm really close to having all my parts for my computer, I'm just waiting on a decent price for a GTX 1060 6GB. I know with all the crypto mining, the prices are crazy high, but I heard it may come down soon. I really don't know when "soon" is though but I kind of want it. Can anyone confirm this rumor that prices are going to drop and if they are how long will it take for prices to drop at least $50?

Your answer? When prices go down, if you're concerned with the cost.

The simple fact is the GPU boom is not going anywhere until eCoins die, and eCoins aren't quite ready to do that yet. See if maybe a local retailer offers a bundle, if you're doing a build. Some of them will sell you a GPU at normal prices if they're confident it's for a prebuilt and not a miner.
