So I was toying around with the idea of getting a new graphics card but then I thought, crap, need a new PSU, crap case too small for GTX 260 screw it, I have some money in the bank. May aswell go for it all.

So I am thinking that i7 920 is the most sensible option as OcUK are doing some brill deals on them. What do you guys think. Trying to keep it below £900 here, already got all peripherals including monitor.

i7 920 SLBEJ D0.
Asus P6T X58.
OCZ Gold 3X2GB 1066MHZ.
Cooler, undecided, how does the Titan Fenrir perform?
Coolermaster HAF 932 probably, though quite expensive. Anybody else spec me a case with good cable management, good cooling and lots of room for below £110?
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Enough for futureproofing to a 2nd GFX?
Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample 896MB. 1 for now, 2 maybe if needed in the future.
Suitable LG GH22NS30 22x DVD±RW.
Probably a WD 640GB HDD, not sure.

So what are youy guys thinking then? Do I wait until newer components come out? Or go for it asap?
 
September/October time you will have i5/windows 7/and new ATI dx 11 and possibly Nvidia dx 10.1 refresh coming. If there's no need to upgrade i'd recommend waiting TBH.

Just depends on you current spec and any issues you have.
