I'm about to purchase my new CPU for my MSI Neo2 Platinum (939). Instead of saving money and going with a 3500, 3800, or 4000, I'm thinking of going with the FX-55.
My reason boils down to the idea that I can sell the FX-55 for nearly as much as I'll pay for it ($840) on eBay right before the FX-57 comes out (whenever that is). Then just repeat this same process each time a new high-end chip comes out.
Does anyone think this makes sense, or should I go with a 3800 and save myself the cash and skip this idea?
Also, I'm not seeing huge performance differences between the FX-55, FX-53, 4000, 3800, and 3500. So that's why I'm not too happy about spending $840 on this chip, the only thing that's keeping me spending that much money is my idea of reselling it.
