| Perhaps, but seriously, just wait for the 9xxx series from nVidia. Because nVidia is the way 'games are meant to be played'

Will this turn into the same discussion as we have seen before: AMD vs Intel?  J/K 
I am going to buy a new PC in a month or two and definitely need your advise, guys. I will therefore follow these very interesting threads!

Not at all Amok. I don't mind ATi (although I was slightly put off by one burning out so quick <_< ) but really, ATi have no match to nVidias new 9xxx series coming out in the next 2 months. The specs suggest over a 100% increase in performance over the 8800GTX and with the news on DirectX10.1 they might well just include that in the card but 10.1 could be a while off yet so don't quote me on that.
But I really think nVidia is ahead of the crowd here and they work hand in hand with Intel, as do ATi and.....AMD.
But in my opinion Amok. Go for a Quad Core and if you have the moolah, try and snag a new 9800 card when they are released. It will be sure to last a good while.
Avoid DDR3 memory if I were you. The performance increase isn't that great and doesn't warrent the disgusting price tags those sticks come with. Also, it may be time to start considering going the Vista route if you want DirectX10 and maximum compatability with the new hardware.
I hope this helped.
