Looks like it will be prime time to upgrade around Christmas this year...
I've been holding off the upgrades for BoB and even if i'd like to have it installed on my system right now, i think we're going to get a very good timing with sim releases and PC upgrades this year. Black Shark is almost ready and will probably ship around September/October, KOTS is coming strong, we'll probably get BoB around Christmas and maybe the Korean sim a few months later...it will be a dream year for sims.
On the other hand, i heard that Intel is about to release a new line of CPUs after Christmas, making it possible (due to price-drop on the current models) to upgrade in a very cost effective manner. So, i prefer not to buy a new PC yet, but i'm slowly building my peripheral collection up. I'm about to buy a TrackIR set and then i'll go for a HOTAS set (Saitek X52 or X52 Pro, depending on how much money i have to spare at the time), since these will last me a few years anyway.
All in all, it's looking like a great year for simmers. Oh, and if BoB is getting close i suppose we'll get 4.09 to keep us a little busy until all the new sims get released.
