Time to start my new PC (recommenations needed)

I just installed my new motherboard.  I got an ABIT AV8, it seems like a really good board.

What I got

Next week i\'m getting my memory and CPU.  Then I should have a shiny new 6800 by thanksgiving.

Also keep in mind if you are "future proofing", then PCI-EXPRESS / DDR2 are two things you will have to get,

This i disagree with, IMO DDR2 is not the future. I am betting AMD will skip good old DDR2.

well, I should have my shit up and running sometime next week.  I\'m looking at memory now, this seems like some pretty competitive ram for the price.  I refuse to spend over 200 bucks on a gig of ram.

It\'s either this or the dreaded Corsair Value Pair of PC3200

Ok, got everything but my video card.  What is the best out of these choices?  

eVGA 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 - $399

XFX 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 - $409

ELSA 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 - $390

I\'m leaning towards the eVGA.. is there anything I need to know about that particular card?  Any good ones i\'m not including?  

(I really don\'t want to go over 400 bucks)

I have the eVGA.  No matter which one you go with get the arctic cooler.  The stock fan is so annoyingly loud and the setup doesn\'t cool as well.

I take it that removing the stock heatsink and fan is no big hassle?

To be honest the stock 6800 fan is the hardest one I\'ve ever removed.  Tons of small screws that are in tight.  To keep from stripping them I used a flathead as opposed to a philips even though they are philips screws.

Removing heatsinks from gfx cards is a breeze.. its motherboards NB sinks that are the bytch. They use a thermal glue rather then a paster.. So you need to heat it up just to get the crap to let go of the sink.
