i think find a buyer first and save up more...if you're doing pure rendering then get at least 3k to 3.5k to get better hardware...or not u'll stuck on with slow upgrading

Guys,
do you think there is a need to wait for Win8 come out since some hardware like graphic card might need to be compatible or probably mobo and processor too?
