I'm sure it would give you better gaming performance, 7800GTX's are pretty amazing, even compared to 6800GTs.

Im gonna go for it. With a 3000+ cpu and the BFG 7800GTX is comes up to about the same, a little more but still its all good. I cant wait!

Should be a great PC, some good parts there, namely the mobo and the RAM. Good OCing rig as well.

THat is a very nice looking rig. Downgrading the CPU a little doesn't have much, if any impact on your gaming performance. That 7800GTX certainly will though. :)
