Could wait for b550 / x670 / ryzen 4000?

Wait until after the new consoles release and build a pc after that is what I would suggest

Is there usually a price drop in pc components after new consoles drop?

Do graphics cards not drop in price when the new consoles release? If I was building a new computer waiting would just be something I would do but I am no expert on if you should or should not wait

I don't know, consoles get released so far apart and its usually at a time when im not looking for new hardware so never notice

I have a personal rule that I don't buy any consoles until there are 5 games on them I want to play.

That has nothing to do with what the OP is asking.

Id also been inclined to wait it out if you have a pc already.

Depends on current spec..?!

PC building has rarely had a good time to build. There's always a new thing round the corner. Sometimes it's worth waiting for, other time not. Most often a guessing game from what i can tell.

Sure, if wanting 4k, waiting is always good. The able GPUs will only drop in price.
