Discuss Will prices drop?

I recently started upgrading my build...just bought a gig of ram for it. I don't have the money for the rest (but I can use the ram in my current build) so I am waiting till around Christmas time to purchase the rest.
I will be buying:
eVGA 6800gt - $320
Amd Athlon 64 3200+ Venice - $190
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum - $110
My question is, will these prices go down by the time Christmas is here? Since I might be able to get the money for at least the mobo before then, is it worth waiting, or is the price going to stay? As of now I probably can't get the eVGA 6800gt, but if the price goes down to a little over $200 or less, it'll be fine. Will this be the case do you think? or not?
:confused:

I'm estimating the 6800gt should drop 20-40 bucks by then. Because the X900 and 7800GT should be out by then.

The best idea is to save up money, and get money for christmas, then buy parts AFTER christmas when the prices drop.

That's what I was planning to do...after Christmas and possibly get one for Christmas. And as far as the price dropping I meant for the price to go down to a little over $200, not drop $200... :-) I think that it's quite possible for it to go down to like $230 give or take, because if Nvidia launches the rest or at least some of the 7 series (Which I am sure they will because Christmas is a buying time) then the 6800gt's price should drop significantly. That's just my thoughts though..
