Well some news about AMD was released today. B3-Stepping Quads should appear out in Q2 of this year... so hopefully by June you'll be able to put together a system.

And just for clarification, I was under the assumption that we were talking a new computer from the get-go. I assumed you assumed that upgrading your current one at this point would be out of the question (a five year old compy is really old). However if you are intending to upgrade it, what are the specs of it just to see what we are looking at.

But in terms of buying a complete new system. Well I'm not quite sure as to what your budget is but nowadays $1000 alone in parts can make quite a powerful PC. Again I refer you to the guide I linked on the first page because I find that to be an excellent reference for starting a new build.
