Should I buy or wait?

[PsychoStar]

Alrighty, I plan on building a new SB computer by the end of summer. However today on the egg I see this:

ASUS P8P67 PRO + G.Skill 1600Mhz Cas 8 2x 4GB combo for 269.98

Which is a 40 dollar savings. But also there is a 25% off cart coupon code for the memory giving me another 30 bucks off. The total would be 239.98.

My question is, Seeing how I plan to build this system in a couple months, is there anything on the horizon that I should wait for? Also I know the Z68 boards come out May 8th, do you think that the cost of the P8P67 Pro or any p67 board will drop? If you were me would you buy now or wait?

Thanks in advance,
PsychoStar

With the 25% discount, I would get it now.

If you live by a microcenter you could save even more money. I don't think p67 boards will drop in price. So buying now with these sales would be a good choose.

Can you give me a link for saving money at Microcenter?

I see the mobo at Microcenter for 189.99

And I dont see any CL8 2x4GB memory at my Microcenter *Denver*

It's not the ram combos that microcenter has its the cpu+mobo combos, then you could buy the ram at newegg and still get best of both deals. I'm not sure what cpu but there's both a 2500k and 2600k combos. http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/0422BUNDLEpromo.html

Actually the date says expired yesterday so I don't know if they still have it.

Yeah i plan on buying the CPU 2500k at Microcenter. And I did miss that deal, too bad, would have been good. Thanks for your info man!

Well the i5 always costs $180 at microcenter. And I did add it to my cart to make sure, the deal did expire. although the pro is $170.
