In addition to the above items, I already own all the peripherals I want and an Optiquest Q19wb monitor which is more than enough for me. I am also staying Win XP SP2 for now.

Great information on this site. I plan to build a new rig at the end of Sept. but just have a few last questions that I hope you don't mind helping me with. I've only done one build before. Don't worry about the pricing advice - I live in Hong Kong till Jan. so it won't be relavent. Also, I plan on using this for about 60% games, 20% DVD backups, 20% business software... perhaps some video editing if I ever decide to buy a camcorder. I'd also like this rig to last about 3-4 years by just progressively upgrading parts. (For example 2G Ram to 4 w/Vista). I was able to keep a Compaq Presario 6000 for about 4 years without feeling to hampered down, I'd like to be able to do the same here. Questions...
1) Seeing as how I'm not desperate to build until COD4 and Crysis hit, should I just hold out till Sept. or should I go ahead and get it over with now --- very tempted.
2) Should I go with an E6750 for now and then upgrade to the next quadcore level in about 1.5 yrs. time, or just go with the Q6600 now and sit on it for 3 years or so?
Thanks for the help guys, I really do appreciate that this forum exists for the public.
