SSD > raptors :P
Anyway I wouldn't buy a Q6600, I would go for a Q9xxx since the Q6600 are way to hot. May I ask why you need 4 cores? :P Just curious!
Also I'd buy a 320gb or 640gb drive as there are only 2 "discs" in the drive (lower dB).
Last note: I'd step down a bit on the PSU. Like 600-700watts from a good brand would be enough and I'm guessing you 1250w costs alot?
little bit of caution here, your psu will need too have 4 6 pin connectors if you want to be crossfiring 4870x2, and it would be preferable to have 2x8pin & 2x6pin since your 4870 might not come with the 6>8pin converter lead (plus you'll want to keep cable management incheck as this system will likely be very hot)
Stick with DDR2 PC6400/800Mhz RAM, anything higher doesn't really give much performance compared to the HUGE price increase
@ linklink88: I might run a web-server, etc.
@ Random people: I go for 1033MHz cause it seems cool :O, and I might take ThermalTake, because Antec is.. expensive. I think 1250w is enough because I might be overclocking Q6600, and there might be plans of getting another 4870X2. Can anyone tell me how to see if the PSU have 2x8 Pin connecter?
looks like you have enough connectors too run 3 4870x2, pity crossfirex doesnt go up to an effective 6 gfx cards :PQuote:

Great! Thanks alot to Ramuthra for all the information. Now I can finally buy all the parts :P
