My theory for my last 2 rigs has been buy 1 rev old. Why pay the "tax" on the premium hardware? The money I've saved by buying the 'former top of the line' gear has allowed me to upgrade more frequently - keeping up. Two different theories, but after building two over priced PC's, this approach seems to work better for me.
Some advice- attempt to buy all your stuff from the same site - what you save by shopping around could end up being eaten by shipping and handling fees. Newegg is always my first recommendation- good prices, and more importantly, a solid reputation.
