The usual Build Now or Wait question

Well, some of you guys are waiting, I'm just trying to prioritize what it is you're waiting for!

I have a rig atm, 180 opty on SS, 2x1gb crucial, 2x 512 gtx, dfi expert, wd 400gb sata. but what I am really waiting for is the M2 socket which is a new 940 socket for amd and the fx62 with ddr2 ram..

I'm waiting for socket M2 and the mobos for it with full SATA2 support and DDR2RAM. I also hope ATI does something with Crossfire, because I play RPGs and I don't think many of them will be programmed to use SLI (Crossfire works with all games). Also, I hear a 150 GB Raptor will be coming out with SATA2 and NCQ. Mostly, though, I wait 'til my rig won't play the games I like. Then I know I have to upgrade

Waiting for Intel to catch up so I can afford an X2 chip!

im waiting for a decent job, so i can get my car serviced, buy some decent 2Gb PC4000 DDR and a new PCIe mobo and graphics card...

though it might be advantageous to keep the "slow" R9800pro soldiering on until the R5800 and next NV cards are out.

last time i upgraded i went from geforce2 to r9800, about 3 generations worth, so i should wait another 3 generations
r9800pro -> X8xx -> x1xxx -> R580

I'm waiting till I have more money. Christmas is expensive.

I think I've got you beat in terms of generation jump: Geforce2 to 7800GTX

But ya, interms of what to wait for, it's socket M2 with DDR2 RAM. Also, Intels new offerings will also be interesting to see once they're all out there. That won't be for a long while though.
