Very soon I will be ordering the parts to build my Ultimate Pc - The best pc I can possibly buy at the minute ( Basically ).

Parts wise, this is how it is looking at the minute :

Case : Coolermaster Stacker 830 Black w/ Window
CPU : Intel Core 2 DUO Extreme Edition X6800 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.93GHz (1066FSB)
Motherboard : DFI LanParty UT nF680i SLI-T2R/G or the ASUS 680i SLI Mobo
Memory : 4GB - 2x Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C3 TwinX (2x1GB)
Video Card : 2x BFG Tech 8800GTX SLI
Hard Drives : 1x WD "Raptor" 74gb ( System) , 2x WD "Raptor" 150gb (Storage)
Sound Card : Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS Edition
PSU : Tagan TG1100-U95 1100W ATX2.01 Turbojet Quad SLi Silent PSU
Cooling : Full Watercooled ( CPU , 2x VGA, Mobo ) - Danger Den/Swiftech

I am hoping to buy most of these parts on the 8th November when the G80's and 680SLI mobo is out. So please offer reccomendations because I am about to spend a lot of money.

I would be primarily using this system for Gaming but with other things e.t.c and I do multitask but is the dual core not better than the quad core for gaming ?
 
I'm using the Raptor's for games basically because I am setting up a NAS server with 3x750GB Seagates in it.

That Asaka case looks terrible :(
 
It's too big though and if I was going for something like that I would go for the MM UFO. I need something which looks good and you can get a window in the side of it. Traditional cases - I can't stand them, they are too boring for me.
 
150gb won't be enough for Windows + Games I don't think. The NAS server will be big enough for the rest.

The DFI board uses the new Nvidia 680i SLI chipset which will be released on the 8th of November. The motherboard is released in December
 
Looks like im going for the Lian-Li PC-V2100BplusII because it will be big enough for what I need and I'm sticking a window in it ;) .

Graphics wise, I don't know ..... Maybe it's just because I want the best ?

Storage : blitz2163 your right, I will have my NAS server for all the rest of the stuff I want on it - music, movies e.t.c, and 300gb worth of Raptors for games will do me.

Still need advice on the Dual Core/Quad Core debate. Should I wait for the Quad Core Extreme or just go with the Dual Core Extreme, If I OC the Quad core and will get it to say 4ghz or whatever, it will have better preformance than the Dual Core at the same CPU frequency ?
 
Regarding Quad Core- I was told that the expected RRP is the same as the X6800 ? - This is for gaming! - I was originally going for the X6800 and I think that I should then if there is not a lot of point in the Quad Core at all.

I will be getting the physics card that Nvidia will release to use with their 680i SLI mobo's.

I am still staying with my original HDD selection. The 74gb Raptor will handle Xp/Vista e.t.c fine with any addons and the 300gb ( 150gbX2) combination will handle things like games,photoshop and any HD intensive applications.

I am going to be using a Dell 2407 monitor with this so hopefully it will work with this combo well :D.
