Wait for Ivy Bridge or Bite Sandy Bridge?

Basically, I'm getting mixed results and dunno what I want to do. Do I buy a Sandy Bridge setup now like Core i5 2500K + MSI Z77A-G45 or do I wait for Ivy Bridge? Or I can buy the I5 2500K for $210 and EVGA Z68 SLI for $170. Ideally, I want the AsRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3, but if I was to get Sandy Bridge, I'd consider spending a bit more for a better motherboard.

Having said that, I don't need to upgrade. I just have the upgrade itch. I usually play SC2 and planning for Diablo 3 when it comes out. Honestly, the Phenom II is good enough for what I do on the computer. What would you do and/or buy?

Don Karnage's thread with his Core i5-3570K isn't helping much either because Ivy Bridge seems to be a fail...
