Computer components list

Hello,

I am working on a list for building the best gaming rig I could possibly build with the technology out at this time and was wondering if you guys could possibly help me out by telling me what motherboard/processor/ram/video card/harddrive/monitor/OS would be best for making the very best rig I could possibly make at this point in time. I have a case already picked out so all I need now is a list of stuff that would give me the very best performance in the following areas above ^^ cost is not a issue so hit me up with the best of the best

Thanks,

Jeremy

Sweet Thank you.

Perfectly said, except I would switch the 7000 to a 7700, just cause.

I wouldn't even use air cooling if you want it to be the best system
I would get a Vapochill cooling system for the CPU

Athlon 64 3800+ in venice core (they won't be out for 2 weeks though) - the Venice core Athlon 64's will overclock really well. somebody has gotten a pre-release venice from 2.2 to 2.8GHZ on stock cooling, so imagine what you could get with a vapochill cooler.......
also, don't let the amount of MHZ fool you, a 2.2GHZ Athlon 64 outperforms a 3GHZ Pentium 4
