Default snow compatible mobo, graphics card etc. ?

Hi all ,

Long time mac user but first time hackintosh builder. I'm doing some research and putting together my hardware list for the maiden voyage.
With 10.6 around the corner ( and beta's out now) I'd like to build a box that is likely to be compatible with the new OS and have not found a lot out there on this subject.

I go back an forth between pulling the trigger now and installing leopard - or waiting till 10.6s had been more fully tested on various hardware in the community.

If you have any knowledge - or informed opinions on this I would appreciate your thoughts.

Hardware I am considering - with alternatives. Nothing cast in stone or purchased yet.

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz

Gigabyte X58-UD5 or
EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX

PNY Nvidia 9500GT or
GIGABYTE GV-N98TOC-512I GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 149.
western digital caviar black 100 1T

If this should be posted as a new thread or in another forum - just let me know.
Thanks - noam
