Wait a week or two for intel's next gen cpu to come out and then think about buying something.

Usually the go to build would be either a Ryzen 1600 or next gen intel i5 8600k + 1070 should be less than $1000 usd I believe. If you want something cheaper, keep the cpus the same but go with a 1060.

Although I think the gpus are still over priced from the mining craze so... You aren't gonna get a good deal unless you look hard for it.

Edit. Sorry, intel's next gen cpus are launching in october apperently, nvm about a week to two weeks. Still, well worth the wait cause the i5 will be 6 cores instead of 4 with the current gen.

We can happily wait a couple more months, we've been umming and erring about this for a while now. Although, if we do wait until October, will we be then be recommended to wait a bit more time for something else on the horizon?

Well, the next big upgrade as far as most people know for gaming will be Nvidia Volta which isn't coming out until at least q1 next year according to Nvidia. Now if you want to wait until Q1 2018, then be my guest and the upgrade to Volta will certainly be worth the wait but that is still rumored with no real confirmation from Nvidia. And for all we know, it might take even longer.

We do have plently of hints by intel themselves though that their next gen will be released in October so... At the very least if you wait until October and then upgrade, you shouldn't have buyer's remorse or anything. Cause the worst feeling at least for me is that you upgrade and then 30 days later, it's outdated. And really, if the rumors for intel's next gen is true, the next gen i3 will have similar performance to a current gen i7. If that becomes true and I buy a kaby lake now, I would be regreting life but that's just me.

Plus maybe the GPU prices will finally go down to their MSRP but who knows about that.
