Personally I find it's learning how to sort out the software that takes all the time. Just building a PC is relatively straight-forward, and saves a chunk of cash.

If it's for CoD, then it might be worth waiting a month just to see what people are finding works well - eg, is it CPU or GC bottlenecked etc. You can get a fast PC without spending too much.
