I agree - I generally fall into this trap. I will wait a few months until
the price drops or a new fangled option comes out. But after waiting there's
an even better new fangled thingy-ma-bob coming out.

Decide on what you want and buy. The K7S5A seems to be a very good board for
the price. So unless you want to experiment with overclocking then buy one.
I have ordered one and am waiting delivery.
