LOL, u will be waiting forever as as soon as one comes out another is on the way, or haven't you figured that out by now?

Regards to Zero and Mag, well my system is 2 years old and I'll bet that my stats stack up to yours and I paid HALF the money but am willing to upgrade more often just because of that fact. That's why I use ASUS, AMD, and I have NO problems with ATI and my OC'd 4890's in Crossfire mode, but will upgrade my Crosshair 3 MB, and my AMD X4 955 as soon as there is a MAJOR marked difference which isn't going to be for 6 months is my guess but that's always up in the air. We'll see about this "new" Bulldozer and the MB of the future but as of now I'm not impressed with it or anything else for that matter.

For now it's more than I need and faster than the majority for all I use it for. My peripherals are also more than I need and I too will pass it down to the # 2 slot when I do make the jump and that will be the last of my nvidia GPU's for at least the major half of my gear.

On another note regarding INTEL -- I am SUPER happy with my Intel Core i7 720QM laptop and I don't see a need for an upgrade there for quite awhile either. I just upgraded my RAM to 8g and added a 1TB HD for extra storage for both business and pleasure on the road so I'm a happy camper! (PS- the ATI 5870 GPU really rox, Z- even you would be impressed!)

So as you see, although I am an AMD-ASUS-ATI- fan, I am not totally biased to that scenario.

Good input tho and yes Z that’s a nice system but not the only good one in existence. We all have our preferences and that's what makes us individuals in this capitolist society that we are lucky enough to be a part of.

May not suit everyone, but it's the best game in town!
