Well heres what i picked out on newegg. It doesnt include a water cooling kit because i dont konw exactly what i would buy for that. Not sure what mouse i would get. I know i would go for a 24" or 28" monitor. I wouldnt want much bigger just because thats a little excessive. i mean i only have a 19" tv at the moment. Only other thing to add would be a external harddrive for music and such.

I was doing this tonight even before this post. But I do this each night I work with a little bit different build. This is a nice build though.

My dream rig

I just purchased my dream rig and I have had it for three weeks. I researched about 18 different computer companies and boutiques for over five months, and built system after system on paper, until I was happy with everything. Digital Storm was the only company that gave me everything that I wanted, including a great reputation for customer service. My computer is for gaming only. It is paid for and has a four year warrenty which includes one year for using American Express.

Model: Digital Storm
Case: Silverstone Raven
Processor: Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 965 3.2GHz (overclocked to 3.81)
Power Supply: 1000W Corsair HX
CPU cooler: H20: Stage 3: High-Performance Liquid Chilled FrostBite
Mobo: ASUS Rampage II Extreme
Memory: 6GB DDR3 1333MHz Corsair Dominator DHX
Hard Drive: 2x 500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) in Set 1 in a Raid 0 Stripe
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1.792GB
Optical Drive 1: DVD?R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x) (LightScribe Edition)
Monitor: HP W2408h - 24"
Sound Card: Asus Supreme FX
Headset: Roland
Speakers: none
Keyboard: Razer Lycosa
Mouse: Logitech G9
Operating System: Dual boot Windows XP/ Windows Vista 64 Home Premium

I have mine... it's in King's thread on his quad core. I play on a laptop

If I had an extra $8000 that I didn't need or couldn't spend otherwise, this is what I would buy. Also, this is best case scenario, if ALL of this stuff worked perfectly, no problems. I picked Skulltrail just because this isn't a real build and for gaming, it's kind of pointless because the current line of desktop video cards will only use one of the CPUs FSB.


All this crap is on NewEgg.
