Would this be enough for a 6800 ultra?

preferably, i'd get a 420W at least. but those are my 2 cents.

Future of hardware

by that time dual core processors should be out. you could probably get a lower-end dual core at a decent price, but dependent the brand you'll need to be careful about motherboards. the new ati r520 chip should be out by then, so you should also be able to find a decent mid-range vid card.

I need help building my firneds comp

agreed. both amd and intel perform very well. amd is a bit better for gaming, while intel is more application oriented. you really cant go wrong with either and the more they compete, the lower their prices will be for us, the end-user.

Mac VS. PC

mac is good for media editing and ease of use. pc better variety of programs to use. i've got both a pc and a powerbook. no preference, but depends on what you are using it for.

New Rig I am building

price on that mobo is high of high. i got mine for $199 at zipzoomfly on a special deal. is your cpu the newcastle or winchester core? i'd recommend winchester since it runs a bit cooler. for your gpu, 6600gts are good, but go for the 6800gt if you've got the $$$ to spend.

need help in choosing the CPU and MB

agreed. a lot of people are having trouble with generic power supplies. i've got a thermaltake silent power 560W and it runs great so far. dont sacrifice the quality of a power supply for less cost, you'll regret it later on if your parts burn out.

if the 6 series are the dual cores, then i heard you'll need new mobos. otherwise, i think you'd be fine with what you've got minus maybe a bios update.

Changing processor later down the road is easy?

ya, if you've got a chipset that fits 939pin processors, just make sure you get another 939pin processor down the road if you upgrade.

shouldn't be any problem swapping out cpu's as long as the socket sizes are the same in the "new" core you swap in. also, at some point, you may need to do a bios update as well.
