I also would wait. What is the budget, btw?

So the pc budget is 2200 AUD or 1500 usd and also sorry I just don't like AMD

Then I’d avoid the i5. While it does very well in benchmarks it is also being pushed very hard across all 6 cores/threads in some games. For me it just doesn’t have enough headroom for the future, we saw how quickly the older 4 core/thread i5’ went from being strong for gaming to entry level and I can see that happening again with the 6 core/thread CPU’s in the not too distant future. Personally for me it’s Ryzen or i7/i9, I would skip anything lower from Intel.
