have literally been going crazy about this. I have waited and waited (ever since FX-57 came out). Everytime I want to upgrade, something new comes out. This has happened to the point that my pc is not much upgradeable anymore because price/performance would not do it justice. Feels like generations have passed lol. From P4->Pent. D->C2D --- AGP-> PCI-E (maybe even PCI-E 2) --- DDRI -> DDRII -> DDRIII (soon to come). So as you can see, I feel very much behind.
There are many reasons why I have been delayed in upgrading. Mostly it has been just the incredible speed in which new products are coming out again, again, and again. I was planning on building my new PC 3 weeks ago, but guess what... something new was coming out...I know that if you hold off on buying something for too long just to wait for something new to come out, you will never buy anything at all. I have tried not to do this, but have become a bit paranoid in buying something and then having a new product come out a month or even week later.

I was so sure about buying this PC until I was informed that prices of all intel CPUs would fall dramatically. Ontop of this, I've been having a problem choosing a PSU for this build. Finally when I decided on the PC P&C 750 Silencer (I don't know why, but I still had doubt), I was told to wait for the new revision with an 8+6pin connector for the new coming GPUs. My current PC is as follows:
P4 s478 3.0ghz
Gigabyte 865PE
Kingston HyperX DDR333 PC2700 2-2-2-5
WD Raptor WD740GD
Antec 480w TrueBlue
Creative Audigy LS
X850Pro (flashed XT PE)
Antec 900
My question is (may sound stupid), should I upgrade now or wait another month or two? I also would appreciate any recommendations for PSU or any other parts. I really want to thank everyone in advance. If you had patience to read all of this then thanks
