The amount of idealistic economics at the beginning of this thread (and throughout) is staggering. Do people seriously think the pound will rally any time soon? Or that it's drop benefiting the export market is somehow relevant to the worth of the pound in your pocket? PC components have tight margins and high msrps, so the fluctuation in prices has been particularly acute - but it's going to continue across all sectors, from the European/American/Japanese car to the Greek/Portuguese/Spanish fruit that we all buy. Increasing exports will benefit a small section of rich business owners and shareholders in the UK, but life is going back to post-2008 recession times (after we just crawled out of it) for the majority of us, because the UK is not setup as an export market. It's not doom and gloom to be realistic about the UK's grim economic outlook. This is what happens when we depend on politicians to deliver us well reasoned facts and insightful discussion, instead of acknowledging the false dichotomies they present and calling into question their regurgitated talking points (on both sides).
The second I saw that leave had won I pulled the trigger on my amazon cart (a 6700k build), and since then the total for all the parts I bought has increased by £200-300 in just 2 weeks (not including the GPU). However, chaos is a ladder of opportunity, personally I'm excited to start Delboy'ing it up again on eBay as UK consumers are going to move to the second hand market to save money. I switched to a FE 1080 but I'm keeping my (pre-Brexit) Hybrid preorder as the cost has already risen above the 10% eBay margin and EVGA hasn't even announced the official price! This is the kind of positive scalping the UK market needs, getting goods cheap and sharing the deals online - something I've done with Nike shoes for years.
