Hardware Build a PC

So I will be getting aproximetly 3800 dollars from my job. I was planning in putting some of the money towards a gaming centered pc so I will not be doing any video editing etc. I am currently running i5 650 with an amd radeon 7770.

I was thinking that is that a decent enough Pc to handle games at 1680x1050 at high settings or should i wait for intels haswell to launch.

If you want to go with Intel's Haswell, I would highly recommend you shoot for a better pc than what you've mentioned. If you spend the money on Haswell, might as well get a more powerful rig. You could easiy manage a pc that can run 1080p with mid-high settings if you add a few hundred bucks to the budget.
