Just like the title says. I'm thinking of buying new computer.
A) Loptop, so I can play GW at any time.
B) Desktop, more room to expanded.

The Desktop that I'm thinking of getting is a.........

Certified Data CPD805 MS
• 2.66GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core processor
• 2GB DDR RAM(to 4 GB)
• 250GB SATA Hard drive
• DVD±Dual Layer optical drive and DVD-ROM
• NVIDIA 6200TC 128MB video card
• 19-in-1 Media card reader
For CAD $999.98

Should I get now, or wait until price goes down?

you might want to wait for the moment or drop down your RAM to 1GB and you want a 6600 or a 9800pro minimum for a new computer.

if you are buying a desktop or laptop, wait until after July 24th, when processor prices are expected to take a dramatic drop as Intel will be releasing the Concore line of CPUs.

You can do much, much better for that price.

Indeed. I don't think anything in the video section is going to drop in price, but then again, prices will trend down slowly. If you can wait until Conroe is released, then you're in good shape (and it wouldn't hurt to build a Conroe system)!

Buy it from a place with a 6 month no questions asked return policy. That's what I did and it works awesome. Then they can have it back in 6 months and I'll take my money back.
