Yah, but planning so far ahead isn't very productive, as many decisions may change with even a weeks time in waiting for funds. Technology changes pretty fast, so planning too far ahead won't help much, but its still good. Revisiting the thread before buying, after a gap in time, may be very beneficial, or the gap may not have yielded any new parts to sway decisions... could go either way, but the best thing to do is intense planning right before purchase time.
I dont read threads or post on weekends so I'm just getting into this thread.
machu1, you have the 3 largest contributors to helping people in Gen[H]ard. You come here for advise but don't seem to want help. Seems like you just want a computer for blunt force gaming. Its your money ( that you dont have now) so you can waste it however you want but I would listen to these guys unless your a big douche and want to waste money on things about your computer you wont utilize.
