We're all a little split on this decision of to buy or wait. Just seems like we'll be continually waiting and never be happy. Is septemeber a factual release date for Nehalem? If thats true then i can wait!

Hey fellas plan to build a new pc once 4870x2 is released. Well i know you guys like to help out, and thought if you have suggestions then feel free to let me know what you think i should have instead. A little description why i chose them is included.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40Ghz/Kentsfield/4MBx2/1066FSB/EMT64/XD/Quad Core) or Dual Core E8400

(both cpu's have good OC capacity)

MOBO: ASUS P5E3, X38, FSB1333, DDR3, 2xPCIEx16, RAID, GbLAN, 1394a, ATX

(fsb can be oc to 1600 i think, and dual x16 pci-e for future xfire, plus fairly cheap)

RAM: Kingston KHX11000D3LLK2/2G HYPERX 1375MHz(PC3-11000) DDR3 2GB KIT CL7 (7-7-7-20)

(standard 1066 ram i think oc's to 1375? please enlighten me on if this is compatible ddr3 with the mobo. Will games use 4gb of ram? The GPU has 2GB of ram on it as well i think. Seems benchmarks only use 2gb of ram)

GPU: once released, 4870x2

(Will out perform any single card setup in most applications, and probably still cheaper then 1 gtx 280. can it be xfire'd with another 4870x2?)

HDD: Samsung HD753LJ 750GB HDD - 32MB Cache - SATA II 7200rpm

(cheap and seems solid)

OPTICAL: Pioneer DVR-215BK 20x

CASE: Antec "Nine Hundred" Tower Gaming Case with Side Window - Black, NO PSU, 9 Drive Bays, Top mounted 200mm exhaust fan, Top USB/IEEE1394/Audio

(solid case, just worried it will be cramped with a big gpu in it.)

PSU: Thermaltake W0131 Toughpower 850W PSU, 14CM Fan, Modular.

(supports sli/xfire, modular, will 850w power 2 4870x2 in the future?)

CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-U12P Performance CPU Cooler

(one of the better air coolers)

Well i've done most of the hard work for you guys, i just need your oppinions. I would love answers to what ram and mobo works well. and if 4gb is much benefit to 2gb in games. Benefit in terms of an fps ammount would be nice.
