I finally have the cash saved for my new gaming system. I've included the x1800XT rather than the 7800GTX as it seems like it's preformance may scale better than the NV in the future. I know this may be an premature evaluation given that the card is still a month away (in ATI time, likely 2 months in real world time. I'll remain optimistic though and hope for a 11/5 release 
Please let me know what you folks think of my hardware choices below as well as where you weigh in on the 1800XT vs. 7800GTX decision.
ATI Radeon x1800XT
AMD Athlon64 3700+ (San Diego)
OCZ Value (1024*2)
Epox 9NPA
Creative XFI Music
Seagate SATA 120GB NCQ
Antec P180
Antec Neopower 480W
