wait for the Intel's Wolfdale processor line up to come into market and AMD's 780G chipset to come into the market. Better wait or else you will definitely regret. Lot of new chipsets and processor are gonna hit the market that mark the end of current cores.

eg: Nvidia's 8xxx series chipsets
Intels Wolfdale and Yorkfiled core processors (even the dual core proccy's crush AMD's Phenom quad core proccy's)
AMD's 790G based motherboards (cost 80 euro) that crushes any of the Intel's and nvidia's chipsets. (*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81864)

Naah it never ends, but when you are going to invest 1000 pounds then sure wait at this time, this is the time for new releases I mean March-April. Though there are processors and MOBOs which will last very long. But thinking of graphic cards you need to check things up.

Yes. I know that you get new product every 2-3 months.

But the new architecture from Intel is totally new architecture, moving ahead from Core Microarchitecture. These are the times that you would just have to wait. Move to 45nm fabrication, smaller chipsize, lower power consumption, huge increase in performance. I am waiting.

I have a 2yr old Athlon PC and am thinking of getting new one. But after seeing the benchmarks in all the tech sites, I am going to wait even for a month to get hands on Intel wolfdale/yorkfiled core based processors.

If I have to get AMD PC, I will wait till 780G to come out to India coz that looks amazingly fast and believe me, those who get new pc now will certainly regret coz this new mobo will be priced around 5k.

For graphics card, as nVidia 9* series is coming out, there will be a definite price drop of 8800GT in coming month.

now, don't you think it's worth the wait?

with hardware/electonic products this is never ending , it goes on & on.. after you buy it another new product is released & whine "Alas, I should have waited a little more ".

ok take this.

HDD: western digital/seagate 250/320/400/500/1000 GB 16MB buffered sata2
Processor: AMD 5xxx+ X2 series (dual core) / Intel core 2 duo --> both around 2.6 to 3 GHz. (mine is AMD 5200+ x2 dual core 2.7 Ghz) {Quod processor from intel is also available now but i don't know much abt that}

Motherboard: MSI K9AGM3 or upper (which is graphics series, on board tv-out port,HDMI port,DVI port,firewire port,7.1 surround sound support,LAN port)

RAM: DDR2 800MHz 2GB/4GB ram

anything else remaining?
you can have 5.1 surround sound speakers from any good company + you must get TV capture/tuner card from pinnacle/winDVI/hoppage series + tv-out socket for MSI MB.

also get one wireless headphones.+ DVD writer from LG.
