Mine is late mid next year. So about a year from now

My current rig (sig) is still ok so I can't convince the wife at the moment to let me build... so instead I'm putting time and money into my cave

I'm going to see how much it would cost me to upgrade after fs/ft everything

Ddr2 Is expensive now

Yeah it is expensive, but I "stole" an extra gig from a couple of my other pcs around the house to bump mine up to 6gb

sweet, time to get out of here, later

In my case, money isn't a huge issue because of my Amazon rewards. If I do end up with an I5 and a $150-$170 motherboard though, I'll have $200 or so left over for drives, another SSD, etc.

Motherboard: $60 - $70
CPU: $95
Ram: $60

Total: $215

I wonder if I can get a decent i7 cpu + mobo + ram for $275

 

[alfa147x]

Intel Core i5-2500K
$219.99

8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill DDR3
$40

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3
$150

= $410

 

[alfa147x]

Damn another $200 :\

Good luck with that. You might even have trouble getting a used i7 for less than $275, let alone the rest of the system (though you can get 8 GB of RAM for $40 or so).

Yeah I'm just going to wait. I don't NEED a new machine

RAM is cheap until you need several TB of it for fast storage.

I know what you mean. I am having a hard time purchasing a board and CPU right now even though it will cost me nothing out-of-pocket.

It just now occurred to me: Steve Guttenburg and GW Baily antagonized each other in both Police Academy and Short Circuit.

25 years later I finally get a clue.
