I'm on a budget of about 1000 bucks for just the computer. No monitors or speakers. And no, building a custom rig is not a option for me right now.
I've already decided on what processor and ram to get (i7 2.8ghz with 6gb tri channel ram) But I have no fucking clue what graphics card to get.

My current choices are:

I've heard all the Geforce GTS 200 - 220 - 240 - 260 - 280 are shit so I'm wondering if I go for the ATI cards. I've always loved Geforce cards though so I don't know if I want to jump on the Radeon series.

That will work unless I end up with the HP. Personally I'm thinking the XPS 8100 will be my best bet.

With a IntelĀ® Core™ i7-860 processor(8MB Cache, 2.80GHz) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 it comes out to about 1,100 dollars.
