New PC

Hi, I'm considering making a new gaming and streaming pc and I've heard there are new pc parts coming out this year. I'm wondering if I should wait a couple months and spend closer to $1500 like I plan to, or build a $7-800 pc now and sell parts later and upgrade when new parts come out? I don't plan to buy the newest pieces but I'm wondering if maybe older cpus, for example, will go down in price when the newest parts come out?

 

Thanks for any input

I would say no point at waiting for OLD PARTS to go cheaper, you wount notice a huge diffrence. (example look at the price of 780ti or 690 they are still reletevly expencive) only if you want to wait for new parts, then wait i guess if you ahve the pc. if not go all out now, or you will be stuck in the waitng game forever ^^

Wait. The new GPUs coming later this year will be the most major update in 5 years... They're sure to bring with them lots of improvements and performance advantages. No point getting a system now unless you really need one right now.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
