Looks a good choice to me, should last you a fair while, personally would have gone for a bit more space on the SSD but that's not hard to change in the future. Sure you'll have fun with that rig

considering your still on a couple of 7900gtx's, you'll be completely blown away by the new performance

haha i hope so

ive lasted so long with my system and its gotten to the point where even wow lags at lowest settings

did you order the k version of the chip?

unlocked will make it easier to overclock as locked cpu will be really hard to OC.

i havent ordered the cpu or mobo yet but yeh will be 2600k !

I cant seem to find prices for the 2600 on the site

Interested to see the comparison to the current CPU's

Dude, a 6950 is going to absolutely MURDER your 7900gtx's. I had geforce7's about 4 graphics cards ago

7900 gtx, my favourite cards for years!

I have the vertex 2E 120GB. I fin myself easily occupying 80GB :-/. I'd have upped that to 120. Not to mention the 25nm version released.
