RE: Graphics card
Just an aside as I'm reading through this post:
Speaking of power, you may want to make sure that your PSU is up to the job. Personally I'd not stick any of these new PCI-E cards in anything less than a 400W power supply, and even then you'll want to check the make - some vendors are just better than others.
Oh, and the nVidia card is the sex. Although ATI released a small program to do MPEG ENcoding on-card (which would be sweet), nVidia wins hands-down on all the games I've tried.
