[SOLVED] Should I have waited till New Year before buying parts ?

[Abdullah127]

hi .. i have bad pc and recently ordered these parts:

B560m Gigabyte Aorus Pro
i5 -11400
16 gb ram

Then I saw some guy on youtube says people should have waited until the new year first quarter .. in my case should i cancel the order and wait for the next generations ? or it doesn't matter that much ?

I use after effects and want to play some old games on the iGPU untill i get a graphics card.

The 11400 is a fine CPU but the 12400 is looking promising too...

The upcoming midrange Intel Core i5-12400 processor was put through some early benchmarks. It performed excellently despite requiring little power.

You can wait if you don't have urgency. The current lineup of this gen. have already proven to be good enough.

No. It's a good board. The differences are in the gimmicks. The Aorus can do more, has more robust VRM's etc so offers more options. It's in the little things.

My build is mITX, and most mITX boards only have 1 fan header and 1 cpu header, that would have made my build very difficult. So I opted for a more expensive board that had 2 fan headers and a cpu header.

hmmm i get it.. excuse my ignorance , but is this could affect the performance of gaming for example ? "going for the gigabyte board"

I he have no urgency, he should wait until 2023. Semiconductor shortage is expected to affect computer market less starting from that year. Also maybe Intel Ark based GPU cards will appear for affordable prices.
