What to do?

[barrymobiel]

hi,


I need a new pc but i dont know what to do, wait 3 months for the new processors and gpu's or buy a pc now but with a low cost cpu and gpu.
If i buy one now i can update it in the future with the new cpu's and gpu's.
I realy need advice, any comment is good.
Just tell me what you think!
My budget is around €1000, i dont need a monitor, case , speakers, keyboard,mouse.
i'm from belgium so i wont use newegg but you can always show products and i'll check the price in belgium.

You have a decent enough budget to get basically anything you want. If you want Intel, you can buy a 870/930 based system right now based on your usage. But if you're into AMD, then with that budget, waiting for bulldozer will be well worth it IMO.

I'm buying an ssd too so my budget for a cpu is around €200 and for a gpu €220-240

You don't need a great GPU to run at 1280x1024.. XD but if your upgrading then ok..

When you say maybe overclocking is that a maybe yeah? or a maybe not?

I would wait it out and get the bulldozer

Its maybe yeah XD, the future games will ask more of your pc thats why i want a good gpu. I know the gpu is overkill but in the future it wont.

Do you know when they will release the first processor from bulldozer?
