OK, well I see it's time I update the post. So far I already have here:
Intel Core i7-930 CORSAIR CMPSU-850HX 850W COOLER MASTER HAF 922 Windows 7 Ultimate O/S Here is what I plan on ordering next: * GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R * G.SKILL PI Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) * XFX HD-587A-ZND9 Radeon HD 5870 1GB * Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive - For second HD I'll either go with a Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB or regular SATA perhaps the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200. I'll pick up a cheap DVD drive for it as well. I think I feel pretty good about this setup, but if anyone has anything they would like to add, recommend, suggest that may make me change my mind on something please let me know. Thanks All...
