Need advice on building my gaming pc.

[GoogleIntel]

What about i7 950 ? The price of that CPU has dropped from $560 to $299

Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950

Save some more money over the next 3 months when the 6 cores drop at christmas and get 2 of these now

Newegg.com - XFX HD-597X-ENFN Radeon HD 5970 BLACK 4GB 512 (256 x 2)-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Eyefinity 6 Edition Video Card

If I had that kind of budget I would personally build an AMD/AMD ( ) based system and spring on 2 x 5970 3 monitors for Eyefinity. 2500 is something I would LOVE to have to spend on my man cave components
