Hello guys,

I was looking to buy a new pc but I was stuck on the processor. I had decided for i3 4130 (budget gaming pc) but now I am confused whether I should buy the pc now or should I wait for the haswell refresh scheduled for May 2014 ? Will I get additional power (I can go for the i3 4360) and is it worth the wait ?

Thanks in advance.

Wait until May when the new ones come out and the i3 4130 price will shoot down

the wait will only add maybe 5% if history repeats itself as it has the last several years.

the only good move up is to an i5

It might. It kind of looks like there's a new series of HD graphics coming out (4xx0). There might be better differences or worst. What it is we don't know. However, this might even end up with no difference graphics wise and stuff, only insignificant differences. So it's lottery, and it could come out with only newer CPUs with higher clock.
