    Wait for the GTX295

    And Core i7 is worth it imo. 30% increases in most games compared to Core 2 line of processors.

    how long till 295 comes out? A screw it, I will look it up on google

    What I find quite funny is that everyone is telling me to wait. But at the time it comes out there will be something else just round the corner. But yes, I will probably get the gfx card last and get the 295.

    yeah. GPU's are really the only thing worth leaving till the very end. Currently the fastest card is the 4870x2, however when the 295 comes out it will smoke it.

    I am waiting till mid-2009 to pick up either a 4870 or a 4970 when they're released late 2009 along with the Phenom II, 8gb ram & a new AM3 mobo :8

    Just thought you'd like to know my life story there.

    Not likely, AMD/ATI still have a few tricks up their sleeve, the "super" specifications that push overclocking them to the max, and a sideport that allows an extra 5GB/sec communication between the 2 cores of the 4870 X2

    Wouldn't leave much money left and it might not even be that good for gaming but for the Adobe suite and video editing it would just own, you can't get anymore future-proof.
    Damn, that is one expensive card.

    Those Quadro FX cards can't render in real time, so they suck for gaming. They are made for 3D Modelling etc

    Should I use the on board sound card or is it worth getting seperate. I have heard it will increase gaming performence by not using the processor.

    If so I have been looking at the X-fi series. Does anyone know which ones are good for gaming. I like the ones which use 5" bays for output but they look a tad bit expensive....

    Well if you have a mobo like mine which gives terrible feedback through the speakers i'd go for a sound card
