    Upgrade now or later?

    So I've got a build all set up and I was going to grab the Gigabyte Gtx 670. I was also going to grab the i-3750k. What I wanted to ask is, is it worth waiting later in the year for a drop in price for those or better components? I remember somewhere mentioning new gpus possibly in Q3 or Q4. Or do you think prices will stay relatively the same and I might as well just go ahead with it all?

    While new/better parts and stuff will be coming out soon.. I personally don't think it's worth the wait of 6-10 months. It really depends on what you have now. waiting will probably gain you about 10%-15% performance for the same price bracket, or probably save like $50

    Alright thanks. I suppose another option is to just SLI down the road when the cards are cheaper anyway.

    Intel's new processors should be coming in about 2 months, so if you can hold until there you get a system with brand new motherboard and upgrade options. Graphics cards on the other hand will not update until christmas shopping season.

    Trolling should be.
