Question nehalem or e8400?

I want to upgrade my mobo and cpu. Do you think that I should hold out for the nehalems, or should I go with an e8400? Or should I wait till the nehalems come out so that the e8400 is cheaper and get the e8400?

I want to be able to achieve a decent, stable overclock.

Also what mobo would you recommend? Nehalem compatable mobos arent out yet though, are they? So what would you recommend for the e8400? I'd like to try and stay under $400. Under $300 would be awesome, but probably isn't very likely.

Thanks
