Main debate was between the HD5850 toxic and the gtx470, I've read that the 5850's run alot cooler and more efficient than the 470's.
 
Looks good

I think you will be satisfied with either a 5850 or a 470. I personally just bought a 5850, but it gets here tomorrow so I will most likely test it over the weekend. I've heard the 5850 is a beast though.

You will love the 920 with 6 GB DDR3, these core i7's are amazingly fast. I've built an 860 with 8 gigs of ram, 920 with 6 gigs of ram, and two 930s with 6 gigs of ram each, and they all are super fast.

The only thing I would say is definitely go with a different wireless adapter than D-link. I will never buy D-link after what I saw last weekend. My friends could only play 2 mins of Battlefield 2 on each computer in the household with their D-link router, we switched it out for their TrendNet router, and everything worked perfect. This is enough to set my mine on never purchasing a D-link product.
 
Well, I've built similar comps with d-link wireless adaptors and they have worked fine for me. ( Can't speak for the routers).

I'll prob go with the Linksys anyways.
