Dgc1808, I added a quick footnote at the bottom of my last post regarding Haswell. I am not telling you to wait if you want to get a PC asap, but just giving you that info so you know upfront where things are on the Intel's CPU roadmap.


Oh damn....hmm... I'll have to think about this. Seems like a good reason to hold off for a while. 

Don't do that. There's always a next best thing, and this time the performance increase at your budget will be VERY small. Intel has zero competition at those prices, what incentive do they have to lower them with new stuff? 

If you have a need for a system now, buy now.

Also most of his recommendations seem overclocking focused, and unless you have a desire to I would say don't do that, and therefore the cheaper motherboard, RAM and non-K CPU are good choices.
