new spec -

[toothe]

Allready own case / hdd / optical drive / operating system etc
only need mobo / cpu / ram / gpu and new psu

this is what i've come up with
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (allready got Hyper TX 2 CPU Cooler that i will be)
ATI hd3700xt - allready got one so would be able to crossfire them. or do people recommend me going 8800gt route as it will be after xmas i think that i actually get all the parts.
Motherboard - any ideas are welcome would prefer an asus or abit but heard the gigabyte models are good and cheap
Memmory OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK) or Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)

or should i wait for the new cpu's and chipset to be launched. thanks guys

not really, dont wana go overkill though. so like not wanting to go from a 150 graphics card to a 500 quid. but wouldnt mind going from a 40 quid ram to 100 quid ram if its justyfyed.

yeah, not sure whether to go sli or crossfire. if i go sli i will leave my 3970xt in my other pc and buy a 8800gt and possible a 2nd later in the year. if i go xfire ill but another 3870xt and put them both in here. tough choices
