Building an ICore System from scratch

[sony144]

Hi all

Thinking of building a new system in the new year. I think I want a spec of Intel ICore cpu, 4 - 6 gb of ram and considering a solid state drive for windows ? I also want to buy dual monitors. With this rough specification what would you recommend ?

Thanks Michael

Hi guys huge cheers for all the advice. Think I will just end up leaving the ssd drive and getting a raptor instead for windows. Would you recommend the 2.66ghz icore or the 2.93 is it worth the extra money ? Dont think my desk could fit 2 x 24 inch monitors will prob just end up going up with the samsung 20 inch monitors. Also would you recommend the ATI 4870 X2 over the nvidia cards ?

Thanks again for all the advice guys.

Michael
