very well I was gonna wait anyway since I'm devoting most of this Fall to PS4 and early next year.  It'll probably be a year or so before I start to really look at this seriously and by then the next gen stuff should be worked out.  Hoping to get a good rig for multiplats and Rome 2 of course on max.  Then I can also enjoy the most social games (since my friends will have it) and PS exclusives on PS4.

Well ask the question when you are ready to buy. It doesn't move as quickly as it once did but by next year we will be looking at very different reccomendations most likely. Also buy what you need now and upgrade later, it will end up cheaper than buying enthusiest level parts to try and jump ahead of the curve.

makes sense and once next gen games are out I should be able to get a good read on what they'll require.  Also I could settle for 1080p 60fps with anti aliasing cranked up since it'll be on a smaller screen than my PS4 will be and honestly I've noticed that I care more about framerate than a little more resolution lately.
