Yes, I've been saving Amazon Prime points for a couple years now (maybe more) -- got $750+. I intend to use them up and then some for a new system (like you, CPU+MOBO+RAM) -- ass-u-me-ing that we don't have a "Bulldozer Event"

If all goes well, I expect to consider 32GB of fast DDR4 RAM ($$) on the new system. Seems like CPU and GPU memory standard quantities are "headed to the Moon" in new systems (at least its not the Sun).

The good/bad news is that at the current slow-slow rate of CPU computational speed progress, the 8core/16thread system may last 4 years
