I tend to buy last year's Champagne (motherboards, CPUs, SSDs,
whatever). Sometimes even a bit older.
1. Once there are one or two newer "Champagne" models out, the price
of last year's tends to be pretty reasonable. And the performance
difference is rarely significant.
2. A year provides time for other people to find the bugs, for those
bugs to get fixed, for howto documentation to get updated, and for
hardware feature support to get finished up.
