I'm making another shopping list for Black Friday & I notice that many of the motherboards & processors are now shipping to Spore & even the shipping if FREE. You have to pay the duty of course. In the past I've only bought RAM & SSDs but hey shipping is FREE.

So I'm thinking of getting a new system which has the newer connectivity options like USB 3.1, PCIe connectors for the latest SSDs, ....

Curious about the experience of others?


My i7 processor is about 3+ years old & trying to decide if I should upgrade to a i5 or an i7 Skylake or wait until the release of Cannon ball:confused:
I use my PC to watch movies & downloading plenty of torrents at the same time. Sometimes I have 100+ torrents downloading at the same time & it can sometimes slow my system down when I have too many popular torrents I'm sharing with peers. So would more cores or a faster processor help:confused:
