New PC in 7 years!! :D Help needed to finalize a config.

Launch of Trinity seems far but buying a PC is a necessity. I want 2 PC's. What should I do?

  • Buy a low budget PC and wait for Trinity (which would be my primary PC later)

Trinity is launching on November 22. Just got an invite for the launch. Should be in markets after that. There you go Mr 7 years in Tibet.
Well. I would have to wait to buy Trinity now. I would just say bad luck for me. :|
btw u didn't buy from PC shops in Delhi?
I tried to. But AMD mobo are difficult to get in market. Specially this one was. Even quality PSU are rare. And if its available, its costly.
@ op
Why are you after Trinity? Any specific purpose?
You need a powerful workhorse or a not so expensive balanced multimedia rig??
I need an all rounder within a budget.

Meanwhile following are some benchmarks/technical specifications of my mobo Gigabyte E350N with AMD E350 processor and AMD Radeon HD 6300 Graphics onboard GPU.

Couldn't calculate real world benchmark cause haven't installed much games. But while playing Black Mesa, FRAPS reported around 20-30 fps on 1024 x 800 res, and around 40-50 on 800 x 600 fps.
