I know the answer to when is probably "when you need one" but I am semi-fine with my current 3 year old single core AMD.
It does it's job which is very basic, and the biggest load this computer ever faces is Photoshop + Firefox + winamp + watching a DVD.
Anyhow, I am looking to build my next computer and would like to know if there is certain season when everything goes cheaper to make space for new technology.
I am trying to save every penny I can after spending a lot on Boxing Day buying 46 inch TV + other stuff.
My computer really needs to be replaced, but I can wait a very long time before prices go down. Even if I will save as little as $100 as opposed to buying right now, I would be happy.
What I had in mind:
-Dual core AMD or Intel
-2GB DDR2 RAM
-250-320GB HDD
-A very cheap video card
