    Are you suffering any performance issues or struggling to play any games etc.? If not then I'd hold out for a while and see what Bulldozer or even the new SandyBridge or IvyBridge chips have to offer. No point upgrading for the sake of it and you may be glad you held out when they are released!

    Not worth it really as the 1366 are still fast and sandy bridge only really narrowly beats it and the difference in your use won't be that much

    You could be better off selling now and upgrading as 1366 will depreciate more when lga2011 comes out.

    I have to say, I can't see me needing more power (for gaming) than SB already delivers - especially when overclocked. LGA2011 is going to be hard to justify given its premium cost.

    Think I'll wait for Ivy Bridge.
