If you are looking for peak performance, consider waiting on Vista until Nvidia can get their drivers going better. Take a look at this article.

Vista already has newer 8800 drivers out then in that article. Not sure how much different the performance would be, but the 8800 divers are a lot better then the 7000 series drivers.

Rig looks preaty good. Altough I never heard of the company that makes that RAM

GeIL RAM is quality stuff.

One thing to consider if you are willing to wait, and on a budget, the new cheaper dx10 cards (8600) are just around the corner I believe. But if you want the fastest by all means pull the trigger on the 8800

You might also want to consider a sound card too even though the mobo has it.

The Creative sound cards don't have much support right now. There are beta drivers for the Audigy and X-Fi but I see them as feature incomplete.
