Well, we all know that technology updates fast and prices change swiftly with the evolution. There seem to be optimal times to start new builds. Based on evidence, when do you think would be the next best time to build a computer in terms of price and the time you could get out of it before it goes obsolete? Things that affect this are new operating systems, processors, video cards, or the inventing of totally new platforms for any of these items that changes the way we can make more efficient use of space. For example if in 3 months someone figures out how to put 15 chips in the space we utilize for 2 chips now, doing the same amount of work, the industry will experience a paradigm shift. This is sort of getting philosophical, but in the end I (and others I'm sure) just want to know when I'll get the most out of my money and not have to worry about upgrading for a long time. There is some risk and uncertainty that noone can avoid but it seems that I have awful timing when buying expensive things, so I'm looking for help from people who keep up with this stuff. I was going to do a new build a few months ago but decided to wait after hearing that AMD is coming out with a new thingamabob, and blah blah xyz bob & co. is optimizing their technology....
hopefully you can make sense of this.
