I Really Need to upgrade my Current PC im still running a Duel Core AMD 64 -_-

But im not sure what to do with Ivy bridge and PCI-e 3.0 GPUS coming soonish

Should i just wait it out? or is buying something like this a good plan then upgrading to a decent ivybridge CPU and 3.0 GPU?

Budget is around 350-400

Yer can afford to throw a I5 or I7 into the build rather than the I3 if i wanted too

but like you said the GPU will hold out until the PCI-E 3.0 stuff but i was under the impression that to get the most out of them id need a Ivybridge CPU. Am i right in thinking that?
