    Very nice specs!! Can't wait to see some pics...about how much did all this cost you? (just curious, but you don't have to answer if you don't want to, because I don't want to be rude).

      I can tell you it cost to much for something that will be a old stuff in a year! I think i spent about a grand with this build...I got some good deals with newegg and also the CompUsa in my town was closing its doors so i picked up a few deals from there. The only thing i wish i could have waited on were the the new intel chips....But i was ready to build asap....and i dont know if the new e8500 is that much dif from the 6850. Im sure its a little bit faster but for the price im not sure if it was worth waiting on. Regardless this is a big steep up from my current rig

          What OS? And Hard Drive? Existing one?

          Sounds great though.

                  Looking good chops. I probably would have dropped to the e6750 or q6600 as i don't think the 6850 is worth it's price tag. But it's your choice not mine.

                  Have fun with your new toys.

                      Pig Im not sure what os to run....I have xp pro 32 and 64 bit......The 64 bit ran like crap. For the time being i am just going to use my old segate 80 gig sata drives. I have 2 of them in raid 0 now and they seem to work well. I will prob buy another drive like a 250 gig for storage

                        Cool system, hopefully you're going x64, so windows can use all that 4GB of RAM
