Now seems like the worst time to Upgrade

[lieutenantfrost]

With USB 3.1 just announced, DD4 still crawling into the mainstream, Win10 coming at the end of the summer. Speaking strictly from a value for dollars perspective now (as in the next months or two) seems like a terrible time to be buying a new comp. I really do need to upgrade but I feel like we are currently at the end of the cycle for several tech standards.

Thoughts?

Well it seems there's a lot of new tech around the corner, it depends on your budget, to get all the benefits out of it you have to buy higher end parts.

I wouldn't wait too long, because after one thing gets released then the next new thing will be on its way, you could be waiting forever... But yeah up to you

DDR4 has no major effect over ddr3 except it runs at lower voltages, and higher speeds. 3.1, is a good feature, but Asus will have a bios update to support 3.1, I think

None of the items you listed will make a huge difference if you buy or build now or wait including Windows 10 - Windows 7 or 8 are both fine for next several years.
