Next April huh? Waiting for tax refund? I give you credit for planning early. Be mindful that 6 months in the hardware world is a whole new life cycle and your components you listed might not be what you'll want.

What will be the main purpose of your new rig? Gaming? Photo/video editing? or basic general use?

 

[hundredislandsboy]

For next April you'll want Core i9, GT300, 1 TeraByte SSD, and don't forget the liquid helium aftermarket CPU cooler, lol.

ur kiddin about d helium cooler ryt?

no he srs abt helium

 

[pcguy_09]

The good news is, late winter is usually the cheapest time to buy. Looking now is too early, hold off until you get there to take advantage of the price drop.

 

[brutalspoon]

Forget helium. 2010 is all about liquid hydrogen, I just know it!

 

[hundredislandsboy]

Yeah but liquid helium cools better, floats faster to the top of the case to help cool, that's why they use it in balloons, lol.

helium based coolers should cost a lot and wouldnt d atmospheric moisture get condensed on d cpu.i hv got no idea hw its gonna work.
