thanks for all replies.

so, in my case I'm already on the worst choice. what can I do?

A) buy a i5 2500k + cheap CF mobo

B) wait for FX-8350/6300 (if my mobo support it)

C) sell the 6850s, buy a GTX 670

D) sell everything, buy a i5 2500k + GTX 670

F) sell everything, buy a PS3 (??)

I suggest B unless you're having problems running the game which I doubt.

@tinnitus:
option B will be a good choice only if pd is much better than bd. otherwise it'd be a sidegrade. i dunno if 'up to 15% ipc improvement' is worth spending yet more money after a new cpu.
option D would be the best choice but it'll cost you quite a bit. the money-to-be-spent might be useful if you save it up and spend it later.
how about this - since you already have the fx and 6850 cfx, why not keep 'em running for now? 6850 in cfx is quite powerful.
