just wondering if it a good time to build a rig

currently on althon xp 3200 barton, 2gb ram, 6800gt 256mb
don't laugh! i have upgraded around the cpu/motherboard/gpu

play games still good today (not SSE2 one though :D)


anyway, i have a onboard sata controller that not compatible with win7
and i can't disable it to run a PCI card, doh

i was trying o get this to last until pcie3 and usb3

i know there nvidia300 series and intel i7 32nm coming soon,
i was wonder if its worth holding out for usb3, pcie3 and the nvidia300 and i7 32nm?

is intel changing the socket type??

i want to make sure its future proof...

maybe a i7 920, x58 mb, 6gb ram, and hd4870?

something cheap...

what psu is required? i have a new hiper 580w (630w load) at the moment
 
whats the ETA on pcie3? and usb3?

don't want ot buy a 200 board just for it to be outdated in few months
