cinek is an unknown quantity at this point
pricing query

I want to buy a new CPU, motherboard & some ram. Now I can either buy it before xmas, or around august. Since the VAT is going up to 20% (after xmas), would I save money buying it before xmas, or would the price drop untill august and make no difference?

here's what I'm looking to get:
CPU:

The only sure thing is that VAT is going up

Lets not forget the New Year sales where they try to get rid of all their old and obsolete equipment.
