First of thank you to all who have shared their knowledge here. I have learned more about my system, and probably the system I want to build, here then anywhere else.
I am an avid 3d gamer, looking forward too many of the upcoming releasing, but finding my system in need of replacement. Now, I have read the hold off on buying/upgrading your PC right now article because of the coming upgrades, but for my needs should I really wait? I expect the new chipset, memory,...etc from intel is going to be pretty expressive at first and push it out of what I will pay for my hobby. Will I see a corresponding drop in price on "older" chipsets and motherboards that would make it worth my time to wait another couple months? Or am over-estimating what they mean by using premium to describe their prices for the new memory?
If you believe that I should build/buy now, what features would you suggest? So far I am leaning towards Intel, and Nvidia with no intention of overclocking the system.
Thank you for your time and suggestions,
Bryan
