Wondering if I should hold off on a videocard for now, I can tough it out on my current 8800GT until 58xx later if one can be had for about $250. Have not read too much into them yet.

Im not sure how hot the new i5s run but the Antec Three Hundred does not come with front fans (to promote airflow) Just something to think about. By the time you purchase extra fans you can buy some around the 80-90 price range.
 
That looks good, but i would hold out on the video card untill the new ones are released, Oct 11, I believe. Get the new VC then.

No hard drive?

+1. Even if you're not getting the latest card, prices should be driven down.

You might want to buy coolermaster 590 case and corsair hx 620 instead. Waiting for 58 is a good idea. The rest is ok.

Yate Loon 120mm fans from jab-tech.com are under $5 each. ;)
