So I plan on building my new gaming rig around Feb-March time period maybe sooner depending on how money stacks up. Now I have a friend who has been building pcs for a few years and highly suggests that I wait for ddr4 ram to release around march madness time. Will ddr4 ram and its mobos and cpus gunna be ready by then? Should I wait to build or go ahead when I have the money? And one last question according to said friend Nvidia is having major card problems with bf4 and other games and insists I go AMD is this true? The research I have done says the opposite from the statements made, but I wanted to make sure from you intelligent people.

First - NO DDR doesn't only support single channel - it does however only support 1 DIMM per memory controller or 1 slot per channel, CPUs with a dual controller still run in Dual, and Quad controllers will still run quad channel...Might see mobos come March or so but they will be Hybrid motherboard as the MC (memory controllers on currenT CPUs are not designed for DDR4, so will prob be mobos that use and on-board mobo chip to take the basic control of DRAM from the CPU MC (memory controller) or supplement it. As far as nVidia haven't heard of any serious problems with BF4

Wouldn't think so, no new CPUs expected till the end of next year and that's sort of a maybe, AMD is up in the air on SR and whether it will be on the AM3+ socket, they have Kaveri due out (it's an APU) but no real threat to Intel CPUs, so Broadwell for desktop (projected the end of 2014 may even be shelved and we would wait for SkyLake
