Help me decide, build now 4080s or wait

As per title.

My boyfriend and I are having different opinions about when to build the pc.

In short: I want to buy him a new pc (around 3.000 eur) with a 4080 super. I want to do this because his current pc crashes almost daily. However he is of the opinion it’s better to wait until the announcements because he says that all the specs will change.

I told him that I really don’t care for a “500 euro” discount because it will be worth it to buy it now and not have the frustration of a pc that crashes daily.

As well, I will not have the money to buy better specs and then there will be the case of scalpers.

So please tell us if it’s better to wait to change the specs in Feb (or something like that) or to just buy it now and enjoy it.
