Buy or wait?

Hi there, I was wondering if I should go ahead and purchase this pc or wait to see if prices drop since I know ces 2025 if next week. I have a 180hz 1440p monitor but I’d be happy to play games that run well at 1080p. I’d be playing games like the last of us, minecraft and maybe Microsoft flight sim. My budget is £1500.

We love you Ukraine
Don't buy now as new hardware is being announced next monday and there will be more performance at the same pricepoint, and prices will generally shift.

Now is a really bad time to buy. Come back on the 7th and we'll know more.

Hi. I posted a thread the other day but was told to wait until today regarding new hardware announcements. My monitor is 180hz 1440p but don’t mind playing games at 1080p. I would be playing games like the last of us, Minecraft and maybe msfs. My budget is £1,500. Thanks.
