This is going to be my first time building a comp and i have help. My problem is choosing a cpu. The build is for gaming (pure WoW). Now i want a computer to last me a few years.
So the cpu I am looking at still need to be released. There very strong and have 6 cores. I have been doing a little bit of research and found out that it wont be worth it.
First one
Core i7-970
This cpu wont be released sometime around fall. It rumored to be sold at 500-600. However i really dont want to wait untill fall. I was already patient for 2 years.
Second
Core i7-980 XE
This is a very powerful one. But rumors are saying it will cost 900-1500. Another rumor is that it will be released very soon (sometime in march). My uncle once built his own comp and he bought a very high end cpu. He told me not to do it. It wont be worth it.
Should i just go with some of the older models of i7. Or is it worth buying the strong cpu's?
