BREXIT and its affect on computer part Prices.

[Columbus_za]

So I am in the process of finishing off my new rig. I was not planning on finishing it till the end of November but realised recently potentially brexit is in three weeks. I have tried to find out in the worst case scenario (no deal brexit) would prices of pc parts increase enough to almost discourage my build? Do I just need to put my last components on my credit card and bite the bullet with some interest over the next two months, or will it not be that big of an impact that I could wait till into November?

I know we do not really know what might happen, but I believe there are those of us that are more educated and more clued up on this matter than I am.

Oh sweet summer child.

I am allowed to be hopeful...

3 risks come to mind:
1. weaker pound means it costs more to import
2. tariffs may change meaning imported stuff is subject to more/less tax
3. ports may be clogged up, meaning stuff struggles to get here, meaning lower supply, which results in higher prices

however....
4. prices rise over time, so simply by waiting you're guaranteeing stuff will cost more
5. it's black friday soon, could be some deals
6. changing your behaviour based on project fear is what turns worries into real impacts

so basically...
stop worrying about it + do whatever you were gonna do.

You make a fair point, Sir.
In your experience, do things like PC cases, vertical gpu kits and AIO's ever go on sale on black Friday?
