For $800-1000 now you can get a nice mid-high end gaming set up. In early 2008 there will be even more options though with Intel's 45nm processors, the 8800gt to the market that can rip apart 8800gts' at a reduced price.
I think I might just wait until January and build a quad-core, 4GB RAM, 8800gt, P35 mobo then.
