Recently I bought myself an iMac but I can't seem to get used to it, so I decided I'm going to save up for the next 4-5 months and go back to a PC, a high performance once from OcUK no doubt since my last one didn't let me down.

Anyway, I have not kept up-to-date on the PC technology and wondering if you guys could help me, is there anything I should wait for before upgrading? any new types of hardware, next gen stuff?

Any advice is appreciated :D thanks

That cant be answered specifically because everything is constantly changing, there is always next gen stuff around the corner and new types of hard ware on the horizon

Buy the best you can for your budget with whats available now and try to include as much future proofing as possible for example I went for a Socket AM3 motherboard with the latest 8 series chipset which is 6 core ready but used a 4 core processor for now because it was £100 cheaper and its not worth using a 6 core now but next year it might be worth upgrading, etc etc
