Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600
Asus P5E Intel X38
Asus ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT

Not decided on ram yet (separate thread) but any got any comments on the above? I was looking for something that was going to last me a while, hence the quad and the x38 (for the twin x16 capable Crossfire slots). I'm an ATI fanboy but tbh, I almost went for a 8800GT as their performance/price is incredible. The only thing that put me off was a) this is a crossfire capable board and b) I read somewhere that the 8800 doesn't hardware decode HDTV (or something related to decoding).

Cheers all. Peace out :-)

looks fine, for ram you want pc2-6400 stuff unless your aiming for a FSB above 400MHz or not using a 1:1 ratio between the RAM and CPU
