Should I wait for the AMD FX Series?

[Atham]

Hello there,
I am thinking about upgrading my current system. I will possibly get the GPU in a about a month or so, and I will buy the CPU and the motherboard and the Cooler possibly during Christmas. Are the FX series gonna be out by Christmas or should I go with the Phenom II x6 1100T BE?

I will be using the:
GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard
Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU cooler

Thanks

Well, I live in Slovakia so it might take some time to get here. Would the cooler be compatible or is it not known which coolers will be compatible?

i tihnk it will use the same setup as the current AM3 boards so it should work.

Oh okay. Hopefully one of the 8 cores will be up to 200 Euros. I am not willing to spend more.

The way the pricing is shaping up around the net, It looks like the 8100 may be around there.

well....pricing is the best indicator of where they are going to perform against the competition and it looks like the 8150P (the flagship for the time being) is going to be priced close to the 2600K. I am getting the 8150P at the opening bell myself and then see if the binning for the 8170,8190, and 8200P (or however they are named) makes enough of a discernible difference to trade up.

Are there any leaks of prices or something for the FX series?

And would the GIGABYTE 990FXA UD3 and NOCTUA NH U9B SE2 be good enough for the FX series?
