[CRH7386]

Okay, so I want to build a new computer for gaming. I have my whole set up ready but I'm unsure about a couple of things and I am interested in your opinions.

I will be playing at 1680x1050 resolution.

I was thinking about going with the E8400. Now I know the new quads will be coming out soon so do you think it would be worth the wait?

Also, I was planning on going with 2 8800 GT's or maybe even 2 8800 GTS' (G92) depending on the price difference. I was wondering if you think it's worth waiting for the 9000 series cards or just go with the 8000 series now?

Thanks for the input.

read that first and be sure to thank "winkgood" for taking the time to compile the results. BTW, I have no idea about the graphics card but that post should really help when choosing a CPU

Hold out a little longer. If you are itching to get a new build get a cheap CPU and a good motherboard that will probably support the new Quads and a cheap graphics. You can try OCing and messing around with it (if you haven't OCed before) with out risking more expensive CPU/GPUs. You should probably look into the X38/P35/780i depending on if going for SLI etc.
