Did you consider going for the 6800 Ultra deal posted in Cyberdeals?
I think for 50 bucks more, I'd go for the XT..

Yes, OEM comes with all the stuff you'll need. That's how I bought mine..
XT is 500/500
XTPE is 520/560
Keep in mind that some of the XT's are coming with 2ns memory and not 1.6ns. XT PE will 100% get you 1.6ns memory.

Nah, you don't wanna go pci-e yet man. You have really nice equipment there. Stick with AGP. Here's what I would do..
If you wanna save some money and maybe get a x800xt pe in disguise go for the Pro/vivo
If you don't mind OEM, and want the real deal for the money, then get the PE..
don't worry about the warranty, you know removing the stock HSF and overclocking will void the warranty.

Well if you're going to NF4, I would go with option 5. PCI-E 6800GT's are still pricey though.
With an AGP setup, I would still go with an XTPE.
Anyone else? I don't want to be the only guy giving opinions.

You're current AGP setup is fine, but I'd go with the DFI/x850XT PE setup if I were you. And no, I'm not saying this because of the DFI motherboard; rather, I think that $190 for a nice x850 XT PE system is well worth it.

Was that an X850XT or an X850XT PE??
Only reason I ask is because the stock clocks are slightly different, but the prices are very different.

i listed a the nonPE, didn't think PE was worth $50 more
deception,
yeah i know my current setup is fine, but i have agreed to sell my evga AGP already and can't go back on my word, i was intending on getting SL but i can't seem to find the DFI SLI anywhere and probably won't anytime soon, either way im out of a video card and it seem sthe DFI nf4 and x850xt is the best route to go
