Now this is a lot of money so I want the build to be good and last at least a couple of years without needing a single upgrade.

Main uses will be;

Playing latest PC titles in 2D and stereoscopic 3D
Watching 3D Bluray movies
Harddrive imaging and analysis
General internet stuff

Please suggest any changes I should make in order to get best performance for price, it is a lot of money for me to spend so I want it to be amazing :D thanks in advance!
 
Its more about future proofing than anything,the fact that ram is "value" is putting me off slightly, will it really perform better than the corsair?

Also what would the better GPU be from saving the money, baring in mind to do stereoscopic 3D gaming
 
Thanks for the reply andi, I was thinking of the 570, but with the 560 coming out at the end of the month i thought id play it safe with a 460. would getting an sli 460 / single 570 really see that much of an improvement in stereoscopic 3D?

I like having many tabs open in firefox at a time and that eats up ram like no tomorrow, from a full day use I can easily use up 3-3.5 of my ddr2 ram. I dont know how ddr2 differs to ddr3 in terms of how easy it is to eat up, but the extra room will be nice
