Windows 8 now or Windows 9 future

I am in the process of a large upgrade to the following.

My question is do I buy windows 8.1 now or is it worth waiting a year or maybe more for windows 9. I am currently running windows 7 but would like to upgrade.

Many thanks

The waiting game can be a long one. But I guess it depends on what you use your PC for. Windows 8.1 has DX12 support for when games/gpus start using it, but it depend on how many future games you have your eyes on.
At the moment I'd save your ££ and see what the preview of Win9 will bring us feature wise. you can always upgrade later on.

Your links are broken btw, fixed: (and please get red RAM to match the motherboard!!!!!):

Also if you're a gamer you might want to wait till the end of the month to see if these rumours about the 900 series cards are true, because you might see some price drops:
