Read the thread Built a new one for his son, didn't mention whats in it. (What is in it?)

The x1950pros seem to be good atm, seen them for under £130 with good coolers

There almost certainly will be a cheaper version of the 8800 that'll have brilliant bang for buck, same for ATi I should imagine.

The big question is when?

judging by how long it took nvidia to get the 7600GT out of the door you will probably be wating a few months. Probably around Feb-March time.

A 8600GT would be sweet though especially if it can match how good the 7600GT has turned out to be.
