I read some posts on the new CPUs and they seem to be a bit costy(250-350), since my budget to buy a pc is 500$ US. Are them worth the wait?

500$ max budget for a whole PC? then just get what you can get now, not worth it to wait. Allthough there will be 100$ CPUs too at least with kaby lake (the i3 series), what zen will give us in this segment, no idea.

you could still wait since the current chips will drop in price, but you will still need to wait a few months. you decide if its worth it.

There's no rumours of Zen apu yet so it might take some time
