What CPU should I buy?

[grassapa]

Since Radeon 9700 is the new hotness (correct me if im wrong) Im gonna wait for it to come out to build a new comp. But by the time it will come out, the 2.53ghz P4 that I was going to buy will be a little "old". So what do you think I should do? wait and buy 2.6ghz? 2.8ghz? 3ghz? or should i stick with 2.53ghz?.
ps: are koolance cases any efficient and good?

the worst failure is not trying........so go ahead and TRY to overclock your cpu to 5ghz

Why not just wait until the 9700 hits the market and then look at your options? 2.53 isnt going to be "old" in a few weeks.

This sig runs too hot.

Yeah the 2.53 won't be obsolete any time soon. However you may also want to consider an Athlon based system too. Of course in the end its up to you if you wanna spend that much money on chip of course you are buying the 9700 so I guess money isn't too much of a problem for you. Cheers!
