Id say not to get the 32 lane thing as it isnt too much a significant performance boost. And make sure to get 2 gigs of RAM cause that is wat you will need to make the most out of that GT. Other than that it looks great, happy gaming.

I wouldn't wait.... It will take too long to wait.... and if you do go intel, get a 920 for it's overclocking.
But on the AMD side, I would go for the 3700+ SD...
Scratch the dual cards and buy one 7800GTX 256MB. That will handle any ggame on full graphics at at least 1280x1024 and full AA and AF.

Voltmodding the 7900GT will lead to insane overclocks, and near-7900GTX performance. I'd say go with the 7900GT. And whoever reccomended the 7800GTX, the 7900GT outperforms it, and costs alot less.
