Should I wait?

[Sympathy]

So It's time for me to upgrade. I currently have a pretty old computer, e5300 @ 3.2ghz and a ATi 4670.

I have about $600 AUD right now and I want to start on my proposed build. But I don't know what to get first. My situation is that if I was to get a Case, PSU, HDD and a SSD now, I would have to save up some more money which will take a fair while. But the benefit of this is that new hardware is coming out while I would be saving.

My other situation is that I buy a new GPU Case and PSU. But if I were to get a powerful GPU, it would bottleneck my system. Would I see any differences in frame rates from a 4670 to lets say a GTX 560 Ti or a ATi 6950?

So what path should I take?

EDIT: I'm planning on making a pretty expensive build, I have all my parts planned out it'll be easily over $1200

Don't build your new pc piece by piece. Get what it's better with 600$. With this budget is quite impossible to get a SSD. Also what's your monitor resolution?

 

[Sympathy]

It's 1920x1080.

I managed to fit in a 60gb SSD which will be fine for me.

So you think I should just save until I have all the money?

 

[michxymi]

Yes. First get the money that you plan to spend, then find the best build for your money and finally buy it

Sounds good, I'm just desperate for a upgrade haha.

assuming AUD is similar to usd would buy you the same amount and you are getting the i5 2500k. you could get the cpu, mobo, ram and os, and possibly case now. wait for the gpus/cooler/monitor(s)/SSD/HDD/ect and canabilize your old machine for the rest. you would be pushing 600 witht the cpu mobo ram, os and case. but it is doable in USD.

EDIT: can I get a website to work off of?

www.pccasegear.com This is where I am getting my parts.

I really like the Silverstone Raven RV02-E black, it's pretty expensive though.

I already have a Monitor Keyboard etc I just need the rig. And yes I am planning on the 2500k

i5 2500k
Asus Sabertooth
8gb ddr3 1600 mhz ram
Radeon 6970 2gb
1 TB sony F3 HD 7200 RPM
HAF 912
Cooler Master hyper 212
a nice 700-800w PSU
20$ cd/dvd drive
60 gb SSD for OS and some important things
