Good day everyone

For standard issue 2.8 - best bet is Amazon since they have rebates. If you are set on the 8800 then that is custom and now you have to go to MacMall or the Apple Store. MacMall and Amazon will not charge tax, Apple will. These are your choices...

Go to pricegrabber.com and do a search on the part number for the machine. If you want a base model, you'll find 10 places that sell it. Some cheaper than Amazon with no tax and in some cases, free shipping.

You could also try MacConnection - they have configs with different video cards there. I'm happy with the MacPro in my sig that I bought from them.

Try Expercom.com (give them a call after you see the price on their web site)

I saw a cheap listing on pricegrabber and they have a decent deal on the GForce card as well, but I don't know anything about them.
