Wow, saw Sapphire's RX 570 Pulse ITX dropped to £289.99 yesterday, so I ordered.

Today I checked and it's even cheaper, 10% off, if only I'd waited a day. :(

Is it stupid to buy memory and an ssd and then sit on it for a year? Not too sure I'll be able to afford a whole PC for a while but these prices seem great.

If you can't use them to at least see if they work or not yet. Buying and sitting on them would be silly as if there's something wrong and you find out a year or more after, there's no warranty or anything to help recover it. So wasted money at that point.

Yes because that is kind of gambling, next year prices could be half, double or the same. But if they halfed you'd be gutted, where is they double you'd be happy but I seriously doubt prices will go much higher, as to be frank prices are already way to high, if they keep pushing higher it won't be good long term at all.

If you can't make use of kit you buy now, then simply do not buy now, put the money into savings and wait. :)

That's right...my current PC is a relic so they'd just be sitting unopened.

Unless there's a warranty period within you will guarantee yourself a new setup to test and use them (so if issues can warranty them within period then), probably better to sit it out. And of course what Gibbo said too. Price fluctuation is rather tidal at the moment. Could be better, could be worse next time you buy and might just waste the funds.
