Setting up dual boot takes like an hour. But yeah, there's no rush to it, linux will still be there tomorrow. I don't recommend buying a new pc and changing OS at the same time though. You don't want to test your new hardware on a system you're not familiar with.
Its not "just" setting it up but getting all software I need, installing the games again, getting my whole spiel in the browser working correctly again, figuring out how to set up and use dual booting.
The reason I want to do it on a new pc is cause I'll still have my old one to use until I find the new one set up enough to replace it, so if I can't figure it out in a day I can still have some relaxation time. I can sell the old one after.
There's always plenty of good reasons to postpone something and only one to do it now.
