I agree with GTR about the sockets, there's no point waiting for a whole year for a new socket. Even when the new one pops along CPUs will still be made for the old socket for a fair while. If you get good enough tech now, by the time it needs upgrading, 775's successor will be mature and ready. If you buy as soon as it comes out, you'll suffer all the weaknesses of infant technology. I don't buy major breakthrough technology as soon as it comes out often, mainly due to price, but also because when I do, I get plagued with bugs. When I get new stuff I like it to work out of the box, not when updates are released!
The points you make Abuzar seem mad. putting up with a CPU that poor for a whole year makes a mockery of getting a decent system the following year. Long term loss for long term gain?

What I'd say to you GTR, get a Q9450, and one of the better P35 boards, then sit it out. Don't wait for 2009's socket design.
(Ironically I personally think this is one of the best times to build a PC, the high end stuff is cheap!)

yeah i might as well, buy GA-P35-DS3R and wait for Q9450 to come out, with atleast 4Gb of RAM and a decent GPU, then it should last me a year or two, with a decent case, monitor and power supply.

Corsiar TX750w enough?

Plenty enough, a quad core and dual graphics is no sweat for that unit.

yes i know this thread is like "Dead" but since this thread is related to Gigabyte mobo, i'll ask it here.

Is GA-P45-DS3R a good mobo?

GA-P45-DS3R doesn't exist. I think you are asking about GA-P35-DS3R which is a EXCELLENT board. It's the same thing as a GA-EP35-DS3R, only difference is that the E version has some energy saving stuff and is cheaper.

Also don't worry about the dead threads, I was just grumpy that day.

The P35-DS3Ris a nice board, but it's looking like it's now discontinued in favour of the EP and the P35C.
