I'll either buy a 8800GTS now, and another one when I get more money, or I could buy 2x 7950GT or something else..

Yeah, but by then the 45nm CPU's will be out, so getting a compatible board like the P35 would be a good but still there's nothing wrong getting a 965P.
I don't see the point getting 2 7950GT's, you can just get 2 7900GS's for lot less and overclock then to the same speed as the 7950GT. The only difference is that they have 4 less pixel shaders.

When will the new cpu's be released? Is it worth spending a lot of money on current high-end components or should I wait a couple of months?

I wouldn't have a clue when there released. Maybe 6 months or so. They'll be released about the same time as DDR3 is released. I'm gonna get my PC now, don't want to wait for it.

560 is enough to power a small city, you wont need 600 watts unless you have a RAID 6 configuration (which you dont).

Ya, exactly. You could get away with a 400, but I'd suggest sticking with the 560. No reason to go higher.

In pure wattage, yes, but anything under a 560 probably wont have the number of power connectors needed if he ever wants go get sli.

My gfx card doesn't have a cord going from the power supply to the gfx card. Just runs of my mobo.
