Thank you for the suggestions! that actually looks like a solid build and is actually around what I was looking for in terms of power haha. I do plan on either repurposing this older one, (like a server or something? Not sure, haven't decided yet), or to give it to a friend for cheap. Either way, I do have the money right now saved for a computer, that's why I was more wondering if it would be worth waiting for the new consoles to come out. Like if it's actually a big jump in prices, then I feel like waiting an extra half a year wouldn't kill me. But if it's not gonna drop any significant amount, then I want my shiney new girl now haha. Just figured I'd poke the brains of others and see what they thought. He made is sound legit enough, but I haven't ever heard of PC parts dropping prices around next gen consoles launches, personally. I really appreciate all the inputs! Thank you so much.

That is actually a good point! I didnt even think of that actually. I'll probably look into that. Honestly I thought the opposite would happen with prices due to production slowing down and everyone buying parts since they're stuck at home. So that's good to know

Thank you for the quick responses! So I built this computer originally back in 2012. The only thing I've upgraded was the graphics card, and that was because my old Gtx 560 wouldnt even launch some current games anymore Currently my system has: - AMD FX 8350 8-core 4.0 ghz - 16gb DDR3 1600mhz RAM - GTX 1050 Ti w/ 4gb vram - 250gb SSD - I believe a Corsair 600w power supply? - I can't remember what my motherboard is off the top of my head but, it's also very old haha. - ASUS 1080p 60hz monitor It does still play most things fine to be honest, just typically have to keep modern Triple-A games at like low or medium. I even stream and edit and what not on it perfectly fine. (Although, I can't stream at 1080p due to the processor hitting 100% and can't encode fast enough, so it just drops frames like crazy. But 720p is fine) At this point honestly, she's done me good for 8 years, and I've just been wanting a nice new powerhouse.

As my current gaming rig is getting quite outdated, I have been looking into building a new computer. But one of my tech friends told me I should wait to build it until after the next gen consoles come out. He said that typically when the next gen consoles come out, because they're so low priced, it often makes PC parts cheaper as to keep up with cost to performance of the consoles. He also said that I should also wait because then I would be able to build a PC off of what specs the next gen game developers recommend. Was curious what others thought of this, and if they think this is true? Should I just buy my parts now and build it? Or have others seen this before? And i should wait.
