This is what I am considering
I will be gaming/vmware workstation (2k8/2012 testing/studying etc..) - Diablo 3, BF3, Eve Online, Skyrim
I have the following already
HDD1: 180GB Intel SSD
GPU: HD6970
Sound: X-Fi PCI-E (from existing PC)
CPU: i7-3820 Retail
Mobo: Gigabyte X79-UD5
HDD2: Samsung 256GB SSD 830 Notebook/Apple Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost
HDD3: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD1002FAEX)
RAM: 2x Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX)
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366/LGA2011/AM2/AM3) (CWCH100)

PSU is a case of buy it once and then it will last me down the line
I was considering IB cpu setup, but its either 16gb ram or a lot more on 32gb
