Now that Intel is cannibalizing i7 920 ..... do you still suggest me to go for i7 config ?

Should I wait for a month?

Or should I jump the wagon to AMD PhenomII ?

Or Should I wait till AM3 Mobo with Sli support comes out to the market?

i have some queries
1. some people are saying that msi motherboards are not good as they have thin pcb and do get heat up a lot.
2. some have suggested that performance of ddr3 rams available in the market is quite poor as they have high latency. is that true?


looking forward to ur replies
Well,

1.) for cabinet, go for CM (CoolerMaster) 690 for Rs.4200/- and it is the best cabunet out there with really good pricing as well as really efficient cooling panel. .

2.) For SMPS (PSU) go for Either Corsair TX750 or for Tagan.. both brands are top notch.. and especially since they are ACTIVE PFC PSUs.. u better get a PURE SINE WAVE UPS... APC's Range of SMART UPS ups is a pure sine wave UPS but are damn costly...

3.) as for MSI, jus forget abt them and get a Gigabyte UD5 (Rs. 16.5K) or get EVGA X58 (its a Overclocking mobo hence costly and priced at Rs. 22.7K)

4.) As for DDR3, yup they are costly, but its our onl bet to buy as of now..

Look here: http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=608

The following is a part of the news:

PS: "To buy or not to buy is the question?"
yup, UD4's are not in the market, all dealers tend to say the same thing.. i had waitd for 2 months in feb and march 09.. then went on to buy Evga X58..
