I don't deal in "what if" when it comes to slickdeals, I deal in the present. For someone currently looking to purchase a 6600XT today, May 5th, this is a good deal. I hear this in every one of these GPU deal threads about what may or may not happen next week, the week after, two months from now, having already lived through that nonsense speculation for years. lol If the prices come down another 20 bucks in 2 weeks, guess what, in two weeks that will be a slickdeal, and if the price comes down another 20 in two months, that will also be a slickdeal. If someone wants to wait till December to be able to finish their system with a GPU because of the off chance this might be 100 dollars cheaper than it is today, they can do that as well.

That aside, I'm not sure what is hard to understand about those that are urging caution. Prices are coming down. It's a fact. They will continue to come down as new cards are released AND more inventory becomes available. Doesn't make this a bad deal. But you also shouldn't get too worked up about those sharing market trend info. Simply put, if you don't need a card today you shouldn't feel pressure to grab this one. The odds that this (or a similar card) maybe $20+ cheaper in the next few weeks is darn near 100%. For some, waiting makes total sense. For others, the few extra bucks in savings isn't worth delaying. And if someone hasn't been following trends on video cards, having community members point this out is a good thing.
No disrespect for your deal - this is a community of information sharing. Laying out all the options is what makes this place great. Thanks for finding the deal!

Far as cautioning people to wait, I have no issues with that opinion that people have, I had it for quite a while when prices were massively inflated. The problem I have is people sabotaging deal threads because they think in their minds that no one should buy the product because they think it should be cheaper. But the disclaimer that people who hold that opinion should be that they can't predict the market at all and where prices will be a week, a month, or a year from now. Like I have said, we have gone through this before where people speculated massive drops in prices and it never happened. And while it seems something is about to give with the GPU market this time around, no one is able to predict where the actual bottom is on these prices.

It's not like their couldn't be another fire, tsunami, civil uprising or even another pandemic. If you are shopping and have this in your budget, hit it and use it and be happy. Years from now this card will be worth zero dollars, but it will be capable GPU for a long time too.
If you need a better deal or don't have the money, wait. Do whatever you are doing now.
Crystal balls aren't very accurate.
