Right now I have a "6600 GT agp" and was wondering if it was worth upgrading to a "7800 GT pcie" or is there a new gen of card thats coming around the corner that I should wait for that will be in a simular price range?
The only game I really play is "World of Warcraft".
Specs:
Opteron 170
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2
1gig Corsair XMS
Is it worth the upgrade?

if you upgrade to a PCIex card you will have to upgrade your motherboard along with your card... the highest AGP card is the 7800 GSAGP card thats out and I'm sure that will be the last. You will almost prob end up having to upgrade your power supply to do this as well. A next Gen card is due out sometime this month which is the 7900series cards too.
And you should be shot for playing WOW
Is that particular board a AGP/PCI-e model?
7800 GS board if you are looking to by an AGP graphic card today.
