So Backfire, I took your advice actually. I realized your right when it came down to the processor.

So my final system before I talk to the store and finalize it is....

Antex 900 Case - good fan support and its only 110.00
Intel q6600 processor
WD Raptor 150GB
WD 500GB 16MB - read reviews and a pretty decent second HD for only 90 something
4GB of OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper Edition (might go to the lower one)
ASUS SKT.775 NVidia NF780i ATX (brand spanking new and supports high end RAM of the DDR2, PCI Express 2.0, and Triple SLI if the ever gets going, basically paid a bit more so its easier to upgrade later on, only complaint is that it doesnt support 1600mhz FSB for upcoming processors)
2x BGF 8800GT's overclocked editions
X-Fi Extreme Gamer
PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad power supply
and Windows Vista 64bit edition.

For a total of 2600 bucks, including tax. I think I did pretty well.

My only worry is getting the 64bit Vista but I know that sooner or later, most games will be using the 64bit edition and I know for a fact that Crysis runs better using that version.

PC Gamer did a edition about building a new computer and they used basically the same stuff and they got 51FPS at medium settings in Crysis at 1600x1200, while dropping the resolution to 1280x1024 got them 43 FPS at high settings. So I'm figuring with two videocards I will be able to get around 47 FPS at high using that resolution. That's damn good considering Crysis runs really smooth from what I heared.

Sexy, man. Enjoy that beast, I envy you.

It's been awhile. It's being in the making for a year or so.

Callan, if the 64bit edition is going to be used sooner or later, wouldnt it be worth more to get that instead of getting the 32bit edition and replacing that later on?

Also, I heared that the 32bit doesnt recognize a system with more than 3GB's of ram.

Yes, it would make more sense to get the x64 version of Vista now, especially if you plan on getting more than 3GBs of RAM. 🙂

Have you given any thought to my processor suggestions?

I thought about it.

I dont know if I'm going to wait or not.

So I bought my computer today and it's being built, so I should get in a few days.

So my final system is.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz
Asus Nvidia NF780i ATX
OCZ 4GB DDR2 PC2-6400
2x BFG GF8800GTS 512 Overclocked DDR3 PCI Express 2.0
WD 150GB Raptor X
WD 500GB SATAII Cavier 16MB
LG DVD Burner 20x
Antec Nine Hundred Case
PC Power &Cooling Silencer 750
Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer
MS Vista Home Premium 64 Bit

All that for $2551.53 tax included.

Personally, I think I didnt spend alot of money for it.

I will try to post benchmarks and hopefully (if I find out how to post photo's) post photo of crysis at what I play it at.

Only a couple more days....hehe.
