Okay I've got my eyes on a Q6600, 8800GTS (overclocked ofc), 2gb geil 6400, a P35 based motherboard.

I can't help but nag at myself to wait for X38 due to PCI-E 2.0 and DDR3.

Will PCI-E 2 take off well, or will it simply be a new thing which isn't used in the mainstream for a good few years? What will PCI-E 2 graphics cards cost on release, my budget for a card is about £250.

Basically, is it worth the wait, or shall I just go ahead when the G0 Q6600's are in stock?
