Well you could sell your GTX and get a ATI 4890, That asus board you mentioned will come Ati crossfire ready, so it would make more sense to buy the 4890 so you could add a second later if you needed. What resolution will you be using? as at a small resolution the 4890 will be overkill!

You could also wait for the ATI 5 series cards, but god knows when they are out!

The Corsair TX and HX series psus are excellent and come with 5 year guarantees, pricey though but worth every penny! Well thats my opinion anyway!

its on a 1650x1050 screen and i dont like ATI
 
well I would go with an nvidia sli board for a bit of future proof, or if you want to stick with the asus board then look at the 295 nvidia card, but obviously you cant run SLI if needed in the future!

I take it there was no bios update for your current board to support the phenom II?

no i would get a mobo that supports SLI but i cant find one that supports SLI and DDR3 so i may just grab my self a gtx295 or treat my self and get the mars GTX 295
