You know what funny about that

finances and time allow.

You can wait out new AMD's APU for 2015 is Carrizo means if you wait out you can get the newer APU on the block (more powerful upgraded chip for the same price or just a little more)
Nice thing about New apu chip releases you get better power efficiency on each new generation

Carrizo is the 65W range
