Resolved Question

I just saw a video saying computer hardware prices are going to increase on August 23th (U.S only).

Is this true?

Could be. Why?

Tariffs appear to be on the rise. Could be as much as the tariff.

25%?

Is it as bad as people say? +25% in prices?

Because I was holding my savings to buy all components at once, but if that price thing is as bad as it sounds I might just begin to purchase whatever I can afford.

You can read the news as well as the rest of us. Some tariffs are more than 25% some less. Sometimes the maker and seller take part of the hit.
