atm I'm just going insane, my current system sucks. Its a x1950GT 512 + e2140, rest is fairly good ( p5k-e , 2x 1gb d9gmh , 620 enermax etc. ) the only thing i also want to upgrade is my harddrives, need some space. But cpu and gfx must be upgraded first... so i can put them on ln2 asap.
Here is my thought (only GFX, not the cpu ):

one :
go for a cheap 8800gtx + e8500

8800GTX is to expensive when there is a little brother 8800GT that is doing as good as the GTX and much cheaper!

two:
pick up a new 8800gts when its available + e8500

This is a very good choice, the 8800GTS will be a little slower then the older 8800ultra highend card, but much cheaper and has better Overclock potential (smaller die)

three :
amd 3870 + QX9650/9770

A single 3870 is slower then a single 8800GT. Crossfire with 3870 is still instable in order to achieve full CF potential. You might wait for X2.

four :
wait for the new 9 series

The newest nvidia High-end card will be promising. But $$ i guess.
