No buddy I'll get one later this year. I can wait. I'm waiting for Intel's new Ivy Bridge. I hope the GPU prices will drop. I hope Intel's X79 motherboard prices drop to by the end July or October

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:Late July

Then you can get Ivy Bridge at that time. No hurry. Also, make another thread when you are about to buy the system as this config suggested by RiGod will be old at that time.

^^ Everyone keeps saying to wait for Ivy Bridge but according to the chart of that "Intel slashes Ivy Bridge prices before launch" article, I see that the new top of the line i5 will be about the same price as the current i7 so wouldn't IVB i5 be out of budget for those wanting a SB i5?

Wrong. Refer this article.

Intel's Ivy Bridge CPU Prices to be Similar to Sandy Bridge

^^ Huh then I might just wait for the i5-3450 too what say?

 

[desiJATT]

^ If you can, you should.

What about i7 3770? Is it worth the wait? I have Core 2 Quad Q8800 with DG41KR mb. I can wait but is it worth waiting for the new Ivy bridge? Which is better Intel i7 3770 or i7 2600?

If you're having a Q8800 processor then for now you can postpone the CPU purchase. Your processor is powerful enough to handle games if a good Graphics card is added. Buy a decent G41 chipset based motherboard from Gigabyte or Asus around 2.5K which support 8 GB of ram and add a Graphics card.

Sandy or Ivy Bridge or Haswell?

Users who can wait for a little longer can they wait for Haswell? It is expected to be launched by next year March and by the time it reaches India and prices fell it would June/July. Hardly a year wait. So should users feel major difference with Haswell as Ivy Bridge will see only little (5-10%) difference. So if we can should wait for Haswell?
