Good idea to wait a bit tyinywiney bit longer?

[Schizophonic]

Just looked on a popular reseller game website to check out what titles are coming out later this year and noticed that all the major players like:

Need for Speed Pro Street
Gears of War
Crysis
Call of duty 4
and etc.... are all coming out late November.

But i was thinking when i get my next payecheck at the end of this month i could buy myself a new rig.

Question is. Should i wait till the end of the month when prices could drop a tiny bit or buy the new rig at the end of this month?

what kind of spec are you thinking of?

From a £800 - £1000

I already have a Dell Widescreen, so i want to play at max settings ideally.

In the past i've always been a bit tight and brought cheap stuff thinking i can upgrade but its always caught me out e.g. AGP, 393 AMD Socket motherboards.

You're probably not waiting for a board capable of pcie 2 with twin 8800 Utras SLI'd, so I'd go for a combination of P35 mobo plus Q6600 G0, with either a GTX or GTS640.

I'd also go for it at the end of this month - but I'm no good at waiting.

[edit]
most (all?) P35 boards are capable of hosting penryn cpus, so it gives you some upgrade path.
DDR3 is heading for mainstream, pcie 2.0 is also coming up, plus a new socket for the intel nehalem chips a little over 12 months from now, so I would'nt spend a fortune.

Hmmm you got me worried now with all of those new upgrades coming out soon. And also my brother is in the same boat and needs a complete new rig.
