    Pound Growing Stronger

    I've noticed that as the pound has got weaker the prices of pc stuff has gone up very high.
    Q6600 £120 vs £150.
    I know this is becausce products are based on USD but i'm just wondering if anyone who knows about stuff like this know if the pund will get stonger. If i was buy pc stuff (espically LGA775 stuff) is it better to buy it now or wait till the pound gets stronger.
    Does anyone know when its going to get better as i want cheaper pc stuff

    Yes, it will affect the prices once the 'batches' of items which were sourced using the lower exchange rate are sold and more are needed to be sourced.

    No way to tell really, only way is to ask an economist but they are probably all hiding
