New computer, Sub £700

£110 from my parents, £50 in account and £10 in paypal
around £170
I have all the peripherals.
Still need to sell more things.
 
the thing is that what if I buy and a new thing comes out, better price tommorow?
I'm going to buy all at once :)
 
 
If I get the i5, I can use it for longer than the i3, then can upgrade the GPU later, without any bottlenecks???

Only a couple million

Well you cant overclock the i3 at all (apart from a bit of Bclk increasing)

So the Bulldozer will indeed be better at overclocking.

Ok, so if I oc with a good cooler and get good temps will it be better than i3??
or should I just cut the hassle and get i3

I'm thinking of just getting i3 after thinking about it.

in 3 years will this still play games on decent settings???
