Is this a good future proofed build?

Solution


X99 and ddr4 are so close and yes you are right there will always be something newer coming along shortly but I do think DDR4 is quite a big deal and worth the wait of a few months.

Just buy now :p

ddr4 isn't going to be that amazing upon release and it certainly isn't going to be anywhere near the price point where people will be wanting to buy it.

Your build now will be no less "future proof" than a new one 6 months from now. If you wait until october/november, someone else will come along and say "wait for the XXX that comes out in april" . That's how technology is, seems to never stop :p

Futureproofing is really just a way for you to spend more money now for something that may or may not be useful in the future. Just my opinion. :)
