Something along those lines?

In any case it depends on what you want:

If you're waiting till October you can get the new Direct X 11 cards from AMD which are likely to be extremely quick. Beyond that im not sure if you'll see the new Nvidia cards in volume this year.

What size monitor are you gaming with? (Determines the GPU).

Do you need a new monitor (Determines price/features).

What date have you set as your 'trigger date' as in when abouts are you looking?, which determines whether you should wait for the Nvidia cards or go with the AMD cards.

What games do you play, also how do you respond to slowdowns (determines level of performance overall)

I probably will wait until October if things go right if not i may not be able to until the beginning of 2010.

Right now the size of my monitor is 15" i belive. I could have had a 17" for the same price but they were out it made me mad.

I am planning on getting a new monitor somewhat bigger.

I guess my first answere answers this one. If not let me know.

I play like WRPG, Sim games. But i'm wanting to get more into PC gaming a little so i may move up and start getting games like GTA or others for the PC.

Thanks for the help. And i like the PC you showed me it would be perfect.
