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. |
OC is a very valid way to get the performance you want at a cheaper price while maintaining stability unless you go overboard these days, recent OC won't really damage your hardware either, just need to do some research and you can save hundreds of dollars while have a top performing PC that runs very stable and would last you for years. The correct parts are needed though of course, it'd take more research time instead of just plug and play.
