I have a decision to make and need to hear what other people think; I've currently got an FX8350 and want to upgrade to an Intel i7 running on the Skylake architecture.
Now, I'm really anticipating the release of the HTC Vive VR headset due to be released at the end of this year or the beginning of the next, but do I save up for that first, or save up for the new CPU and motherboard?
Take into account that I'm about to start university in a month's time, so after this I won't have much money to save at all for the option I leave for later. So whichever one I leave to get second, I probably won't get for another year or so.
Which one should I invest in first? My mind is heavily weighed towards one at the moment, and I'm on the brink of making a decision, but I want to hear your thoughts first.
Cheers guys
