I am about to start buying parts every week for as long as it takes me to build the best PC I can build.

I am looking at the Intel i7-920 processor right now because it is about 250$ and it is a quad-core processor based on the x58 chipset I believe. From what I have read so far, intel is coming out with some 6-core processors soon that will also use the x58 chipset and will allow me to use the same motherboard and memory/ram to upgrade to a 6-core.

This sounds really good to me right now. I just read that the new 6-core processor. The Core i7-980X (extreme edition) was just released which is the first 6-core processor but it is supposed to be around $1,000 so I will probably just get the i7-920 for now and then upgrade to the 6-core version when the price goes down.

The motherboard I am looking at getting the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 which is around $280 at newegg.com

So that is my basic plan SO far. I have not purchased any parts yet.

I am just wanting to ask if this sounds like a good idea or if I should wait longer if I am wanting to eventually have a 6-core processor. Does anyone know if Intel is planning on releasing any other 6-core processor in addition to the Core i7-980X in the near future?

I just want to make sure I am buying the best setup for my money if I am going all out on it, thanks for any tips/advice.
