Help with cpu choice!

Ok, so I am browsing the web and I find out that AMD's new bulldozer is suppose to launch in july which is the same month I plan to make my first rig. My question is should I stick with going for a 2500k and a Z68 board or should I get an AMD 8-core and for the lack of better board in mind and what I assume will follow the Bulldozers release A Crosshair VI Extreme?

I plan to use it mostly for Gaming and Folding but also I wanna have something that overclocks well.

well no one knows what the cpu over clock like properly and all the test samples will always over clock well so its normally best to wait till ppl have jumped the gun and bought them and see how they perform at retail level then see how it goes.

But like always the more you wait the more new gear comes out a few weeks later.
