6 months is way to long to plan ahead for a PC. Tech. moves to fast. I'd suggest waiting until about a month away and ask for advice then.

Six months? No way to say now what will be the right thing to buy then. Check back in 5 1/2 months and we will give you tons of advice! Wink

THey look like good systems right now... But as stated before, in 6 months, who knows... They could still be great systems then, good systems, or "what was I thinking" systems...

It's kind of like planning what kind of car you're going to buy in 10 years... Unless you like classics, but does anyone really want to shell out for a "classic" computer???
