Dont wait for a quad core, If you where to wait for something it would be the new graphics cards coming out supporting direct x10. If money is an issue you can downgrade to a 7600GS and save up for a new card when their out later this year.
 
Apples G5 offers 2 dual core processors...that as close as you can get to real quad core before the actual release.
 
The General said:
DDR2-533? Get DDR2-800 or at least 667.

I've read that the performance increase from 533 to something higher is negligible.

"So it doesnÂ’t matter much what memory speed/timings you buy, the value line will suit the Intel Core 2 system just fine, but do keep one thing in mind, as in our testing we found performance actually decreases a bit going from PC4200 (533) to PC5300 (667)!"
