The day I see a new computer in your house is the day I admit that Mac's are worth their money. You're all talk and no silicon.

Get a MSoft keyboard and mouse - very nice.

Looks good! The HD3870 may be worth a look into if it fits in your budget.

I've been looking at the Sapphire and HIS brands almost exclusively. I've just read good things about them overall. I like HIS's Ice Turbo cooling system, though it does make a 3850 into a dual-slot. Also, Sapphire has a new 3870 coming out that will actually be a single-slot card I've heard! Can't remember where I read it, but probably on [H]OCP.
