O.P. RE: Graphics card
Too late for what? I had a long speech with kao on WLM and i found out that the GTS/GTX supports dx10. Ok dx10 is cool but it's for vista and there aren't games out yet that support it so I think it's useless to get such a card because I wont get Vista until SP1.

I go with a GX2. Just found a nice one and not too expensive.

I never thought it would be that hard to find a good graphics card :S.

RE: Graphics card
Here's my 2 cents.

I'm about to buy a new computer :

LC POWER ARKANGEL V2.2 850W
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 x HITACHI 80 GB SATA II
..

And I was thinking about buying a 8800GTX, featuring Dx10 and yada yada yada..

But then I thought.. The banging Dx10 games are going to take a while to appear.. And when they hit the stores, will the 8800GTX still be sufficient? Will the 600 Euros pay off? Or will the card be worth 100 Euros? IMO, if you want Dx10, just wait some more months and buy one of the future high end cards, which will cost the same as the 8800GTX and give way better performance..
If you're a fanboy, on the other hand, buy the 8800GTX, it provides GREAT performance on the existing (and yet to be released) Dx9 games.. Just keep in mind that it won't be enough..
