Building new pc now or later?

[alonbl]

I want to build a new PC I have the following components:
PSU (seasonic 750W), HDD, DVD, Case and CPU (3770K).

I want to buy the new GTX 770 and the question is should I buy the PC now and when the 770 comes out buy the graphic card or buy everything together?

Thanks

Are those the components you have now or are they the ones you will buy?

This.

If you have all that already, may as well buy it all now. We dont have any numbers on the 7xx series other than it's going to be a rename fest. Prices might come down when they're released, but dont expect much in terms of huge performance leaps.

the components I mentioned I have now.
I guess when I buy the rest later they will be priced lower no?

Not always. I was talking to caDaveca last night, and so far the 7950 has increased since we bought ours.
Just find some sweet deals on the hardware you want.
The only thing worth waiting on is the GPU, the rest wont change much in the coming months, as your i7 will only fit in an 1155 MoBo

What else is on your shopping list? I see these missing...

MB
GPU
Monitor
Mouse
KB
Sound system (Speakers and/or headphone)

I have almost everything. The missing pieces are just mobo, video card, memory and cpu-cooling

I recommend buying everything together now, others may prefer to wait for what 7xx has to offer.
Me, I'm just impatient, and unimpressed.

Build now, there won't be much of a difference if you do it now or in a couple of months. Also the GTX770 is a rebadged GTX680. I'd wait just a couple of weeks to see how the GTX680 is going to be affected in price. In the mean time you can get the rest of the components and fine tune your build so that when you get your GPU you'll just drop it in.

 

[alonbl]

No chance that something will drop in price?
In fine tune you mean overclock?

 

[TRWOV]

The 680 might drop in price after the 770 introduction. Apart from that, no.

Yes, overclock. You're going to, aren't you? You got a K series CPU.

Maybe, but not by much, and not immediately either. Check out the prices of the previous gen. GTX 570's are still rocking high price tags.

LOLz that's rather important.

Always a chance.

Don't forget you have IGP on the 3770, so get yourself built with a MB and patiently prowl for a good deal on a GPU. No good sitting on all that hardware. The electrons are getting bored.

For a MB, see my specs... it's an awesome board and I've been through a lot of different ones.

About the mobo i'm struggling between (here prices are expansive I know):
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H =173$
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H =204$
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H = 234$

I'm not going to SLI

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H will work perfectly, but its ugly, I'd prefer the Z77X if you wanted the little extras and save yourself the vile bright turqoise and white.

 

[alonbl]

My case is NZXT whisper I cant see anything anyway..
What are the little extras?

Extra PCI e slots, better audio, SLI support(which you dont care about), extra SATA III 6gbps ports.

 

[alonbl]

how come better audio? they all have the same "VIA"

 

[TRWOV]

The UD3H has better VRMs, apart from that they are very similar:

Z77-D3H: Z77 chipset with standard features
Z77X-D3H: extra Marvell Sata controller (2 internal ports), one PCIe 4x slot (the PCIe 4x slot shares bandwidth with all the PCIe 1X and PCI slots).
Z77X-UD3H: Same as Z77x-D3H with improved VRM section, the Marvell Sata controller drives two eSata ports instead of two internal ones.

If you don't intent to push your 3770K a lot (like >4Ghz) then either of the D3Hs will be fine.

I have seen it goes up to 4.7 on air so thats what i'm hoping to get
beside that I want good onboard sound.

Don't expect any prices to go lower. If you need a PC now, build a PC now.

You should get that with good aircooling. The better VRMs on the UD3H may help you get .1 or .2 Ghz higher, maybe not.

Those prices are steep... the UD5H I have was grabbed at Microcenter for $150 (they usually have a $40 discount when you also buy a CPU) ... Where are you from?

 

[alonbl]

Israel
the UD5H cost 286$ here

Yikes! Go for the 3.
