Rather wait for Intel Skylake, AMD Pirate Islands and Windows 10 in August all together if possible.

Hi, games i mostly play are WoW, call of duty and dota2. Planning on buying more FPS games in the future...

Hey Jian19, thanks for the recommendation! Will make a trip down to see. How well does the gfx card support the aforementioned games?

Must use this sentence for every rig recommendation thread already. I think people are better off holding off this August for all these new components. I know I am!

Lol, wonder how long Skylake will take to reach SG after Aug release? Maybe Nov/Dec?
