Ok I updated it. Thank you for all the advise, although I have one more question i have the 2 raptors wich have 300 G put together, Do you guys think that is enough for normal gaming? btw this will cost me about 3,500 or so

looks like a killer setup...except that PSU is overkill

^ yep, I have nearly twice that running on a 450w Antec, no hiccups.

What if I were to add another Graphics card? I also want to know the two 150 raptors are worth it(with raid 0) because if I take one away I could add another Graphics card and run crossfire.

Dang, nice set-up. Just a thought, you could get the E6600 and save yourself some money.

and overclock the **** outa it.

Also can you tell us the timings of those memory sticks??

and the PSU isn't an overkill its a great PSU although I do recommend you get the 600w of that same model.

Also, yes I am also gonna advise you to go with E6600 over the E6700. theres absolutly no diffrence between the two.

Oh and that water cooling, dont get a prefab kit, get one from : www.petrastechshop.com <<AWSOME prices, and AWSOME service!

Other than that, your setup is awsome[could replace the X1900XTX with an XT cus if you overclock you can get same speeds eventualy, buuuut an XTX is more convinient to some]

general performance will increase with 2 raptors. gaming performance will increase with 2 cards in crossfire. personally, i would go with the 2 gpus... not that its needed or anything.. just for fun!

x1900xtx can handle all games @ max settings already, except maybe oblivion, but even quad gpu solution wont max the HDR on that game... perhaps in 2-3 years time there would be a gpu that can max out oblivion's settings and HDR.
