Thanks for all the advice, guys!
I think you would be better off getting a NEC 20WMGX2 instead of the TV. It wouldn't be nearly as big and impressive, but it would both be faster and have much better image quality (due to the AS-IPS panel and Opticlear coating), and the 1680x1050 resolution would be a lot more forgiving in games.
I use a 21" CRT now. Maybe I should just punt the whole display thing to next year when better choices will be at hand.
The X1900XTX (which is only about 3% slower than the X1950XTX) is very cheap at this point and may also be worth looking at. They were going for $300 on Newegg a few weeks ago, so you may want to consider getting one of those and selling it in a few months. That being said, DX10 isn't going to matter for quite some time; the initial line of DX10 cards will all be judged on the basis of their DX9 performance.
Supposedly the 1900XTX is really hot and noisy. the 1950 is supposedly a lot quieter, which is what made me think about it. As long as it runs Oblivion really well for now, I would be happy, I suppose.
PC&C are the ones that are way overpriced LOL
Last I checked, the Seasonic 600W was $150 on Newegg and the PCP&C 610W was $160. At those prices I would take the PCP&C and its huge 50A single 12V line any day. The Seasonic is probably quieter (although most PSUs in general are pretty quiet), but split rails and only 18A on each one are not what I expect for that kind of money.

Heh, Seasonic I selected simply due to its prominence over at SPCR. I'm not sure what the real benefit would be of the rail design, but that is simple ignorance on my part.
