The AMD cores are due around March 3rd, so the wait isn't extreme.
If they are back to the era where they actually give a shit, AMD did well in the multi-processing sector. I'd wait it out. |

Agreed. EveryONE is waiting on these to drop. In fact, preliminary leaks show you could get extreme multi-threaded performance for less money than intel.

I have to buy for my next build by 3rd week in March. Hopefully there are enough reviews out by then to see if it's worth not going Intel.

Currently have a New case, 16gb ram, a new hard drive (will use my old drive as well) with a new GeForce 1070 arriving tomorrow. (Got one for 369.99 from amazon with a 10 dollar gift card. Also has a $20 MIR) All I have left to buy is the processor/motherboard/cooling combo. Hoping reviews of AMD come quick and prices drop. I've mainly used PC gamer to find the best deals, examine best builds (http://www.pcgamer.com/best-gaming-pc/). /reusing psu, dvd, and a few fans from my old build //what does everyone do with their old parts? Donate? Sell? Trash? I feel like my AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition still has a lot of life in it.
