Core 2 now, or wait it out?

[Jamous]

Hi guys, I'm on the upgrade route to C2D
I oringinally looked at getting an E6600 but now I'm thinking E6400, Asus Vista M/B and using my graphics for now.
I'm keen to get on with this as I've had Vista OEM sitting in a box for 2 weeks now and I'm getting fed up with the hassles I've been having with XP.
Trouble is, with these price cuts coming, when is ever a good time to upgrade?
I could do as proposed then upgrade again to a higher processor but then my E6400 will have lost it's worth.
I did think of buying the above motherboard and buying a cheapo CPU until the cuts come in.
I did buy OEM Vista as Retail was out of my reach, so I want to have a settled rig before installing it, due to the upgrade issues with OEM vista.
Any thoughts? All advice appreciated!!

It'll be an agonising wait!
What cheapo CPU could I go for in the mean time to get onto the new board and Vista?

Ordered last night, thanks for the help guy's!

Well, I've made the jump from AMD to Intel, I hope it lives up to it!
I've now received an E6400, an Asus P5B Plus- Vista and I'm waiting on 2gb of OCZ 800mhz Ram coming.
Sound fine?
I maybe will upgrade CPU later on, but at least I should have a good board to start with.

Yeah, I'm going to have a bash at overclocking, just need to have a hunt around here for best settings.
