Buy something like a 7900GS for now and then buy a cheaper DX10 later. That's what I'm doing anyway.

Now I did lower the CPU but you won't be able to notice the difference. I also gave you 140GB more HD space AND a WAY better video card that supports DX10, I also gave you a better sound card. Hope you like it.

The Corsair HX520 would be a great choice, though a bit overpriced at $120:
