I'm in the exact same situatuion as you. I have decided to wait. The FX's are supposed to be around 50% more powerfull than their Phenom counterparts. Plus, they'll come with the new AM3+ socket.
I'd rather wait and see how the FX's perform. And buying an AM3+ board would also make room for future upgrades.

And you never know - the Phenom prices may drop once FX's are launched. So my recommendation is to wait till June 20 (if nothing is delayed).

PS - talking about Mobos, the Asus Crosshair IV seems to be the best gaming/OC choice for Phenoms.
