that motherboard of LS' is a great place to start. I'd have a dell widescreen monitor too, 2 x 256 7800 gtxs, a 4800 x2 and the rest. Should clock in under budget i would think.
EDIT: AMD are about to change socket to "M2" - supporting DDR2 instead of standard 3200 (DDR400). Might be owrth waiting - to stop the 754 / PCI E thing happening again.
Otherwise, this is fairly uber:-

I mean you can find slightly cheaper PSUs of the same quality on that site, or could have 1 raptor, 1 normal SATA drive ot save money. I'd wait it out a month or two personally.
