I did the same last spring when prices started normalizing and tending more towards msrp. Almost a year later and I'm still sitting on a now 11yo cpu with new a GPU.

I should have ordered RAM+mobo during bfcm but only managed to squeeze a CPU into the budget at that time. I'll be sitting on the old CPU a little longer.

Edit: this might be a good time to buy an Intel Arc GPU.
