AMD/Nvidia or AMD/ATI

I am going to build a Phenom II rig and i am stuck at the motherboard and graphics card choice. If I go Nividia i am looking at the ASUS Crosshair II Formula AM2+ 780a and the GTX200b when i arrives. I have read good things about the Crosshair as far as settings, but I am not sure if the lack of SB750 will handicap it. If I go ATI the plan is ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe AM2+ and a 4870X2. Any thoughts? Also has anyone ever used GeIL Black Dragon Ram?

Oh crap, sorry

I saw the word "Phenom" and saw red 😛

Yeah you might want to wait until the actual release and benchmarks before throwing money at Phenom II. It could be good, looks like it probably will, but don't gamble.
