Hello I am about to build gaming pc since a year ago, but you know the situation.聽

聽

There is Intel new 11 gen CPU in indian market available(i5 11600k). But I am nowhere to afford better GPU.聽

聽

My question is:

Should I get CPU right now and wait for GPU price down (I have GT 710馃ぃ)

OR

Should I wait for GPU price down and then BUY both together.

I know this is all my decision, but I need suggestion to feel myself better, thank you in advance.

unless your current CPU have serious flaw, buying together is the better option. Otherwise the new CPU will perform much the same.

Buy CPU now, but my sugestion is to wait for intel 12th gen because it will be out in a month or so.

No need to hurry, at diner will be soon enough聽馃崟

聽

Seriously next gen of NVIDIA/AMD cards won't drop before (late?) 2022 and unless a brickton of 2nd hand cards drop at the same time don't expect any of them being budget priced.

聽

I decided to wait at least till 2022 since prices can only go further insane now that we are approaching XMas and there is the glimmer of hope that demand might get a bit lower afterwards. Than I'm just gonna see what prebuild (from a respectable source) fits my budget and swallow my pride in paying 20-30% more compared to what should be "fair".

聽

Or I'll just skip it till 2023......
