Im planing the same atm, but i keep my case and drives and just update mboard, chip, memory + an audio card.
I decided to do all upgrades but keep my gpu untill the new NVs are out. Logically you should get a rad 5870 as it is technically the best atm in that price league. But hell, I'll never go with that radeon crap

GG, Wiener spreading FUD again. Sorry, but radeon works just as well/just as bad as nVidia. Some games run better at Nvidia and others run better at radeons.
Anyway, waiting for NV's fermi == LOL. As it looks now it will just be a little bit faster than the 5870, and more expensive. Also, it will probably not be out before march, and then it will probably be rather hard to get it.
Now ontopic
I would buy a cheaper CPU, as this CPU might be the best, but your GFX card surely can't keep up. A Radeon HD5870 would be a more logical choice if you plan on gaming much. Also, your motherboard isn't compatible with your CPU, you need a motherboard with LGA1336 (or similar) with the X58 chipset.
Also, if you have this much money to spend, I would get more memory than 6GB, although this will be enough at this time.
My own spec's:
Core i7 920 @ 3,8Ghz (CPU)
Gigabyte GA-EX58UD5 (motherboard)
Sapphire ATI HD5870 (Gfx card)
3x2GB DDR3 memory (unsure of the specific specs)
Audigy 2 ZS soundcard
2x 60GB OCZ vertex (SSD)
4x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 (HDD)
Antec p182 (chassis)
Be Quiet 850w Dark power (PSU)
