[Riznarf]

CPU- Q6600 (can't find the link, Newegg is being weird right now)

GPU- Two Newegg.com - EVGA 768-P2-N835-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SUPERCLOCKED HDCP Video Card - Retail in SLI


RAM- Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail


HDD- Two Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM in RAID

and

Newegg.com - Western Digital Raptor WD360ADFD 36GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM for your OS

Case- Newegg.com - Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS Black Full Tower Case w/ 25CM Fan - Retail

Ok, first of all, don't get any of the GPU superclocked crap, you're better off burning your money. Just get the regularly clocker versions and you can OC them to the same level as the 'SUPERCLOCKED' versions....for free.

Also, if you're into hardcore gaming and overclocking get an e6600 over a q6600 for now, as the e6600 is more overclockable, runs cooler, and is probably better for gaming as of now. But don't quote me on this after July 22nd...

For RAM, you're definately going to want to go with the G.SKILL HZ's...they're bombastic.

They're alot of good cases out there, mine is the Antec 900 and I love it...keeps everything super cool.

In terms of HDDs I'd go for one 10k RPM 74GB one to put your OS and games on, and then a 7200.10 500GB or however large you want for everything else.

Hope this helps.

why wouldn't he get the superclocked with a huge budget like that? Save himself the and effort of doing it himself.

Q6600 is better, its just more expensive, but again that isn't much of an issue for him. Regardless of July 22nd, the Q6600 is better just more expensive before that date.

that looks like a very nice build...if money weren't an option I'd get a 8800 Ultra though as it clocks a bit higher due to the slightly redesigned gpu chip.
