is it time?

[Bob Skidmore]

So, as you may know from my previous thread, I am considering a new build - BUT

Is this the wrong time to do so, should I wait until the new GFX cards /CPU's etc. are released?

 

[Bob Skidmore]

well, Ive done it now. Yes, there will be bigger and better graphics cards and CPU's but in reality, will I want/need them. I'm 62yrs old, I play a relatively small amount of computer games and I would imagine that what I have bought will last me to my grave.
