X1950XT or wait?

Hi all,

This is my first post! Hopefully in the right section.

Well i'm after a new setup due to my mainboard going **** on me. So i'm building a new setup. Plus i was only running a AGP 5950 Ultra! bit dated now so thought a upgrade is well over due.

So my question is.... do i get a X1950XT or is it best to try and wait for the early DX10 cards? Remember i don't have a system at the mo tho!!

This is what i'm going to be getting no matter what GC.
Asus P5W DH
2Gig of PC6400 Ram (ocz, Corsair or any top brand)
Core 2 duo E6600

Thanks

Thanks for your input guys.
My res will be 1280x1024. So a lower spec card would be better then?. I have read that a 7950Gx2 is better at the lower res?
The only reason i was looking at the X1950XT was because it's the top dog at the min and will last for a couple years hopefully. Plus if i get a higher res screen then i know my card will cope.
