I also understand technology is always evolving so prices will depreciate in price quite a bit? Should I purchase last year's model and save some money? Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

"Best time" is any sales time! Black Friday!Boxing day!
Not sure if it is much cheaper in Asia, but you have to think about warranty issues.
It really depends on you.
What your budget? What games do you plan to play? Do you need to play in 1440p or are you sticking with 1080 resolution?
Choose a budget and work from there!
