Hm...well, seeing how hte PC market is nowadays, you'd be best advised to hold off on buying schtuff till later if at all possible. This is my little spiel:
Intel's currently dominating the processor market with the Conroe line, wresting it from AMD's hands. I'm banking on AMD coming out with a conroe-killer sometime that'll be more efficient than its Intel counterpart. If my timing's right, it may appear about the same time when Vista comes along.
Right now, the only DX10 cards on the market are superexpensive offerings from NVidia...when Vista comes out, there should be several more DX10 choices out there.
All in all, I would wait until the market becomes more Vista-oriented (and when the price for all this drops) before building a new rig. Vista is, after all, the new XP.
