yeah for now ATI has the best price per performance for Gpus out there and with the 5800 and 300 coming out the card prices should drop
I also paid about the same price ($975)before taxes (damn why does Newegg have to have a warehouse in TN) , so find that little overpriced and I would look at the P55 boards with an i5/ i7 if your on a budget but want some performance.
ANTEC 900 -Case
Core i7 920- cpu

corsair 750watt - psu
Segate 500gb - hard drive
