just buy it. you will never buy one if you just keep waiting for the new thing. new things come out every day just go with whats out now. p.s. ddr4 wont make a difference for gaming mostly from what ive heard/read.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Nvidia may come out with Maxwell in Q1 2014 but is is going to be expensive. While DDR4 will be lower voltage, Higher latency and frequency and more expensive without much performance benefit. Just buy a system now.

It's cheapest to buy during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After Christmas prices go up.

After black friday prices go up. I got a first gen ipod touch for $300 and i saw it on sale for $150 at blackfriday but they were sold out.

There is always new tech on the horizon, you will always be waiting.

Isn't ddr4 a while off for main support?

... thing he has. and they need to be changed. First the gt650 is a joke. Get a r7 or r9. try to get true audio.

These support true audio:

r7 260x

r9 290

r9 290x

check out the r7 260x.

get cheaper RAM. 1333mhz is good. dont need to spenf 50$ more.

Dont spend more for CAS alatency. its not like 30 vs 10 cas. its 11vs 9. such subliminal difference.

Seek a cheaper motherboard with good audio and basic functions.
