Well im rather sure what im going to buy. just here to see your output on if i should begin to purchase now or wait untill november for possible deals / new possible parts?

heres what i have,
cooler master sniper case
corsair 850hx psu
gentle typoon 15 fans

heres what im planning on purchasing,
1055t 95w
gigabyte 890fx ud5
2x 2gb sticks of g.skill eco - 1600mhz 7-8-7-24-2N
corsair h70
g.skill or corsair 120gb sandforce
western digital black caviar 1tb
msi lighting II 5870 / or possible 6 series card if its out in time / in the 400-450 price range.
lg bluray disc burner.


so i could purchase the cpu/mb/ram/wd 1tb next week, then the corsair h70 in begining of october then ssd/gpu/bluray burner come black friday or i could wait and purchase it all on black friday.

main reason im asking is because i want to see if you guys think any newer parts will come out in that time peroid, pretty sure i read the amd 6 series gpu's will be out, but since i read its confirmed bulldozer will be am3+ only i didnt know if we could expect am3+ motherboard's by november.

also im willing to look at suggestions towards the build itself.

thanks for reading.

I personally would skip the H70 and just get a beefy air cooler like the Venomous X or U12P. The H70 (like the H50 before it) has a maximum TDP that it can effectively dissipate before the performance goes to crap. IMHO, you'll get more headroom out of an air cooler.

As for the 5870, I personally would just get a GTX 470 since it is cheaper and around the same speed (depends on the game).

If you don't need the stuff now, I would definitely wait and buy it all at once.

hopefully the 6870 is out in november with the price tag off 400-450ish, if it is ill forsure be getting that.
