Wait till February, would be my suggestion.
In the meantime keep your eye on PCPartpicker.

Watch out for resellers, marking up the prices ofc...

Are you in the US and are you near a microcenter. The one by me gets a couple every few days.

2 outside Atlanta, closest to to you. And pending on where you are at in Florida that’s a long haul probably not worth it

Either get lucky, be patient, or pay a markup

building new pc. i got the psu, ssd, hdd, case.
just waiting for sales on ram, cpu cooler, mobo.

and waiting for the gpu and cpu to be in stock... if gpu and cpu in stock, then ill just buy ram, cpu cooler, and mobo at regular price. but since i am waiting for stock, also checking for good deals on other remaining parts.

edit: also yea i know its most likely overkill. but i don't plan on building a new pc for a long time, and sure no such thing as future proofing, but i just think the extra cost for potential performance is decent when going from 5800x to 5900x when considering possible tasks i may use it for in the future. if i decide to learn more about photo editing and other tasks
