my PC so far

or, If you are willing to wait until June approx, then Bulldozer will be out. If it matches the 2500k, then we will most likely see a price war. also, amd mobos tend to be cheaper, and the socket lasts for longer(eg, some AM3 mobos will be able to suppport the new bulldozer AM3+ socket)

I was also seriously considering getting a sandy bridge setup to replace my i5 750 but personally I don't want to support a company that does stuff that is so anti consumer, ie 3 different motherboards, locked cpu, DRM tech imbedded into cpu. My next upgrade will be bulldozer whenever it comes out, and I will continue buying AMD stuff until intel pulls its head out of its arse. /end rant

^^^^^^^^^^^^

anyone have a answer to the question above? should i order the motherboard now or will it be out of date by the end of the year?

also, will any of the pther stuff be out of date by the end of the year

In that case you are better off saving up your money and not buying anything, until you have amassed it all.Within a year's time there will be new and better hardware at more competitive prices and the price of current hardware will have dropped. It is a waste of money buying something now and not using it for a whole year.

thought so, i have just under £200 and should have the £800 relatively close to the end of year
