Building a new PC. Advice please

[threebadjacks]

Im Building a new pc and can't decide to buy now or wait till after the new year and hope for some price drops... I am on slight budget but want to stay pretty close to the top. I'm basicly using it for Gaming and multimedia. This is what i have been looking at.

CPU - Conroe e6600 core 2 duo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115003

Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128012

Video - BFG Tech GeForce 7950GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143071

PSU - Enermax Liberty 500w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194003

Memory - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145034

I havn't upgraded in a long time. So i been out of the loop for a bit. There any place i can cut corners? Or think prices will drop top of next year?
And is it worth the Money to get a 8800?

If you're the type that upgrades every three years, then you might be interested in an 8800GTS, but otherwise I think they're still way out of whack on the bang/buck ratio. If you upgrade every year or so, I'd look to a 1950pro before the 8800s.

That's about all the input I can give, but for those that can help more they'll want to know:
what games do you run now, at what settings, and at what res
what do you mean by multimedia, video editing? just watching multimedia? audio editing?
what is your exact budget, 1200, 1500, 900?
Edit: oh yeah, what parts are you carrying over from your current rig, if any?

I think you should get a ASUS P5B- Deluxe motherboard instead, this one overclocks alot better. (If you overclock.)
And lots of people are having problems with that Gigabyte DS3.
