Should DX10 become a standard for new games within the next two-three years, I can get a Vista liscence relatively cheaply through uni and set up a dual boot system.

If it's after that, Vista may very well already have been replaced, so I'll lose little in the end

Fifth, how does one exactly calculate power consumption? I was planning on getting a quality 550W PSU 'just to be safe'. That is still safe, isn't it?

Also, what graphical card would you recommend?
My first thoughts were to go with a single 8800GT, and perhaps upgrade when the next series matures.
