So this is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7BMNsYI was wondering if I should wait for the rumored amd gpu's coming in H2 2015 or not. Should I just go for this build or should I wait? (I've been waiting about two and a half months to build this). I'm getting sick of waiting and I prefer nvidia anyway. Also if you agree that I should just order the parts in my build already, what can I improve on in my build?

Go for it, since you prefer Nvidia anyways you'll likely buy from them regardless of what AMD has unless it's a good deal in comparison.

 

It may be wiser to wait though... consider your need.  Do you have a E8700 or a i7-970...  an 8600 GT or 650 ti...  You will know the answer yourself.  The build is good and will server you forever, but I do have one suggestion:  Depending on if you want to OC, a Xeon-E31231 V3 is pretty much an i7 at the price of that i5 you chose...  only con is it's a locked CPU with no OC.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
