Changes in hardware market over 4 months?

[n64man120]

I'm planning a build this July and I'm wondering how much you think the prices / availability of everything will have changed by then. I would assume chips such as the FX series and 64-bit series would come down in price, along with videocards such as the newest X850XTPE. What I don't see dropping much is the prices of highend motherboards, ram, and hard drives.

What price changes do you think we will see between now and then, and what can be expected of new component releases? I'm trying to get a handle on if I can estimate what my purchases will be or if it's too soon to tell.

I'm thinking you will see an FX57 @ 2.8Ghz, not much changing on anything else really. No doubt it will be $1k+. I think theres going to be a 4200+ @ 2.6 with the multi locked which id think would be around $600.

Hrmm, maybe FX56 or 57 would being prices on 55 to a reasonable level. You don't see any changes in the videocard or mobo market?

4 to 6 months ,(if not b4) we'll prolly be seeing the first reviews of the r520 from ATI and whatever nVidia has coming out next also.. Just my opinion though..
