This will be my first time PC build. With all the new video cards coming out within the next few months I am not sure whether to wait or start building now, I would be willing to wait until Black Friday if I could do a better build for this price point.
I currently have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p (Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M SLI, 8Gb of DDR3 Ram) that I am looking to upgrade from. I have had a lot of issues with this laptop (video cards overheating, crashing, wireless issues, etc.) and the trackpad has completely died on me so at this point I think it is time to start looking at a new PC.
I am living in a place where wired internet is not possible, I bought a hardline adapter to try it out but it ended up being slower than the wifi so I need a motherboard that supports wifi. I could get a cheaper motherboard and buy an adapter for $45 but I figured the better motherboard would be all around better.
Edit: The 390 is currently $50 off
Thanks.
