Just like the title says, i have been an own builder for a while and i always seem to build a solid system but then i read that some new storage is just about to drop, or some ram wither bretter latency, or some GPU with more flops, or some fanbloodytastic motherboard that can do my bloody dishes is just around the corner. Point being i know there is always some new fandangled tech just out of reach when you buy but surely there must be an ideal time to buy where price/performance technology stagnation coalesce to form a diamond pc ?

Im gonna be honest with you without being a fanboy to any side.
This is among the worst times to upgrade / buy.
Why?
>Price drop on GPU isnt happening cuz NVIDIA and AMD both fucked things up in terms of production.
>Retailers price gouging and not dropping previous gen GPUs prices down
>Broadwell just entering the scene
>Zen on the horizon
>Vega on the horizon
>Volta on the horizon
>DX12 uncertainty with developers

So I'm the type of guy who'd rather g off on yesterdays tech and save a bundle. I just picked up a decent 980TI for a song because the 10xx's are in. Got a decent non-usb3.1 mobo that'll still be relevant and upgradable in a few years. You get the idea.
IMHO now's the time to get some gaming shit on the cheap.
Otherwise, if youre the type of guy who wants the absolute best at any budget, wait until Q4 16 Q1 17 if you can manage. I'm going to be building a new studio PC in march most likely.

Volta is not "on the horizon". Pascal just came out for fucks sake. By that logic every next gen is always on the horizon so you should never buy anything, ever.

Sounds about right

This is what waitfags actually believe, though.

but thats the thing, i don't want to live my life in perpetual wait, i know there is new jewtel socket and new nvidiot gpu gen around mid next year and they sound sweet as fuck , but why not just get a 1080ti and 6700k in a little bit then wait 3/4 of a year to maybe have somthing that might live upto hype ?
