suggestions
if you do a lot of encoding or use programs that can support more than 2 cores, go for a q9550 CPU or go for an i7 speced PC, if your budget allows
if you have plans for SLi ,you will need to change the MB to a nforce7 chipset based MB
if you have plans for crossfire, change to an ATI graphics card
if you are planning to overclock as far as the cpu can go or get a quad core, look at thermalright ultra extreme 120 CPU cooler.
I7 spec (note i have never spec'ed an i7 based PC before so a much better i7 spec should be put up by someone else)
