I am planning on upgrading my computer soon, and I saw news regarding the AMD zen and and AMD vega. Rumor says that the 8 core 16 thread AMD zen will cost around 300 USD. and the AMD vega will be a titan killer. Should I wait for the new AMD components or but the current intel+nividia ones

I mean, I can already tell you the 8 core will not sell for $300

 

And about vega being a Titan killer, that one is more likely but still less than 50%.

 

I would wait til January tbh. Zen and Vega will have shown their true colors by then.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
