My old C2D P35 rig is starting to show its age. Will it be better to wait for Ivy Bridge or just build a SB system now? I got around PHP30,000 or around $700 converted. The new build would probably be used for 4 - 5 years like my current rig probably just a graphics card upgrade when I get a new monitor along the way
