I would get a system now(upgrade you're current one) and use that till about a month after PCI-E components and such are out. PCI-E motherboards and Videocards may have problems and bugs as wyodriver33 said. Just like Asus' A7N8X motherboard. Had problems so they were forced to release a revision. To save you from the hastle of going through that, just wait about a month before you pick anything up.

A reason for upgrading now is you never know when it will be out. Lets draw upon the example of HL2. We thought it was going to come out Sept. 30. Now about 5 months after the planned release date, it still isn't out. So that just shows you how much you shouldn't count on a release date.
