wait ANOTHEERRR month?

alright, so ive been doing research on the suspected Intel price drops and they're supposedly coming the 22nd of April.  i know theres 50 topics on this but i want advice.  i was planning on ordering parts for my PC this Saturday, but looking that the price drop charts the E6400 (which i want to buy) is supposed to be replaced by the E6420 which is only 183 dollars (compared to the current $220) and has a 4mb cache (with of course the same ghz rating).  Is it worth waiting 1 whole month for this?  i dont want to wait a whole month come to find no price drops come and i could have been playing COH, source games and C&C 3 the whole time. 

advise me, thanks in advance. 

just get it, you're not missing much by not waiting, you are though missing out on all the cool gaming action you could do in that month's time :)jfelisario

(Someone recommended this over the 600W I had selected because they said it was a lot better and more reliable, any suggestions?)

all of these parts are retail with exception to the hard drive which is oem.  This is my first Intel build, ive been converted by these forums.

what about this psu? its a XION, havent heard much about them but the reviews are good.

 XION 600W

personally i would wait an extra month because of the E6420's 4MB which will should a noticable difference in performance, but if you really cannot wait then get it now. ps the E6420 will replace the E6400.yoyo462001

thats what i really wanted to know, cause i didnt want to wait a whole month more for nothing.  if the 4mb will make a noticeable difference i might just wait because it will also make a noticeable difference in my wallet :).  Can anyone check out the power supply link i posted above?  i might go with that psu.

I got the p5n-e make sure you research the ram you are gonna be getting. I didn't and it was a pain to get my ram to work properly and be stable.Ravirr

i would pick up the msi 650i board,  it is much more stable and it oc's better for cheaperinyourface_12

I've decided to just buy my stuff in a week or less...it's not worth waiting a month for the 6600 to MAYBE come down to 220....That's the time value of money, folks ;) PV FTW.Staryoshi87

It all depends on if it's worth waiting a month to save 90 bucks ;)Staryoshi87

Awesome, overall its a solid board. It just took me forever to get my ram working. I had to tinker in the bios. I donno if I'll be able to add more than the current 2 gigs. Since I had to adjust the voltage and timing. I'll consult asus if I need to add mor e :P. It was my first time building too. And this board is rock solid. I did soem dumb things like I mounted it straight to the case t.t . Still no problems with it. So its really nice.
