I'm about to depart with my current rig and start from scratch. The ONE concern that I have.. is that I haven't chosen what video card I should purchase...

Opinions please?

I'm partial to Nvidia....And the 8800 GT has served me well.

I'm a heavy Gamer.. and can't stand playing on less than the highest graphics settings possible. I know that the video card alone doesn't pull the weight.. but you get my point.

^_^ Anyone have any recommendations?

I'd go with an HD 4870. Amazing cards for the price.

And I hear they're dropping in price considerably by April, so that's another thing to look out for.

Edit - Here's a really nice combo deal with the 4870 and an i7 920, since you're probably going that route with the $1000 budget.
