With the 9 Series slowly coming out according to Wikipedia this will happen by the end of March, begining of April. My Birthday is also then to, i am planning to get the 8800GT but unsure weather to wait. If i waited i am only willing to wait 2 weeks after my birthday which would be half way throgh April, would this have any effect on the price of the 8800 GT or just a few pounds.

Buying an 8800GT now wouldn't be a mistake, but it would also be intriguing to see what effect the new 9 series cards have on price of current 8xxx cards, and whether they will live up to the performance demand.

It would also be interesting to know weather thay support DX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 like the new ATI 38XX.

Well, right now I'd look at a 9600GT instead, possibly a 3850 or 3870 because the prices on those have gone down. Extremely similar card, lot cheaper.
With that said, I doubt there's going to be a "killer buy" like there was with the 8800GT this generation. You're most likely going to see expensive high-end cards. If there's a good 8800GTS-like card in the 9 series coming out, you might wanna look into that because that was a pretty decent deal last gen. But I guess we have to wait for benchmarks to see. I'd wait if your budget is a little flexible.
