I wouldn't even bother buying anything comming up in the next few months... too many higher end stuff being released too soon after.
I just bought a 1.6A P4, a $93 Albatron board & some XMS 3500 RAM to build a system to play around with and test out some watercooling designs

and I'll just wait a year until they release all the new technology and (the main part) get it stable, 100% certified, 100% accepted, etc... unlike the 8x AGP, etc... problems out now.
