The AMD64 chips you will want are of the 90nm variety, and they won't be available until Q1-Q2 next year. I'm afraid the current crop from AMD in their AMD64 line won't quite be the best chips on the block ... the package shrink and migration to actual socket standards (which they SHOULD be doing now) will make a huge difference in performance to affordability.
I concur: if you are going for the god box, try waiting 5-6 months and you'll be able to get much more for the same cost. MUCH more. When you consider that PCI-Express will also be released in that time frame and SATA will have matured fully ... yeah, it would be best to hold your horses and wait ... as hard as that may be for the more compulsive of us (and is there any worse at that than me?).
