New pc time
right so due to my own impatience and things working out differently i'll be buying my pc next month as opposed to september/october
will have around R15k to budget and play with.
need the following
gpu, cpu, mobo, ram, psu, case and dvd writer.
joker already knows, but i want to cover my bases and get as much info as possible
Play games, not platforms
I would recommend going for something along these lines bud
-Intel Core i5 3570K, 3.5GHz
-ASUS P8Z77-V
-G.Skill 16GB (4x 4GB) DDR3 2133
-PNY GeForce GTX 670 XLR8 Enthusiast Edition
-OCZ Vertex 4 128GB Sata 6G SSD
-Corsair TX650M 650w Modular Psu
-Corsair Carbide 500R White/Black Edition
-Samsung/LG/Sony 24x DVD Writer
You could drop the SSD and go for a GTX680 instead of the 670 although I doubt you'll notice any difference in performance.
The SSD on the other hand will make a noticeable difference.
Edit: You could look at a full on AMD alternative but honestly you'll save maybe R500 and you'll end up with a Rig that's not as future proof.

You're also right to want to upgrade now, there is nothing "New" in the pipe line for the next few months, so nothing holding you back mate. As far as future proofing goes, we could add a Antec Kuhler 620 LCS (Liquid cooling solution) and overclock the cpu to around 4.3Ghz, which will give you another nice boost in performance. Completely up to you though.
As it stands though you don't really need to do that. But you'll def get more Bang for you're buck that way.
