The new 8 core processors that should arrive next year sound really sweet and worth putting money into it. But that is one year from now.
If you want a new PC that is supposed to last for a while BUT DON'T want to be completely washed by the new and better innovations that are just around the corner, what are your options without being wasteful? I put emphasis on being efficient with money - think of it like being on a budget.
I was thinking of getting an A10 7850k part with a micro atx board, along with a r9 280x and one year from now, when Intel's new get arrives, just put the A10 in a small case and turn it into a server/htpc/steambox, while using the r9 280x in the new PC. Does that sound reasonable to you?
Or maybe the FX line, but AMD seems to have abandoned it. Really, what is AMD doing right now and what can i expect from them in the future?
What are your propositions?
