My biggest concern is getting some new processor that will be phased out in another month or two.
This should not be your biggest concern. Why should it bother you if you get a processor that is phased out in a month or two, as long as the processor you get is a good value for the price and meets your needs? I mean, you can still buy pentium 4 processors and motherboards for them, even though they've been long-since replaced by Core and then Core 2.
