I am going to build my computer some time before summer. Should I wait for new 45nm quad cores from intel or should I just get a q6600 right now? Also is there a time frame when prices usually drop. I am building a higher end PC. I make $1500/week but I am putting $1000/week towards my 18000 debt. I then have $2000 left over for rent bills and food. I also sometimes get $200 bonuses once or twice a month. My girlfriend makes $1000/month going to school so I should have some money left over to build my computer piece by piece. I want to know if there is a time when prices are so good that I should just drop my whole weeks pay and buy the majority of the parts.
