Should I purchase the motherboard, graphics card, processor there?

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
i wouldnt buy stuff in asia...it really doesn't get better than local/US prices
no point buying last year's model even if the newly released hardware is last year's refresh unless there's clearance pricing at a deep discount
