I have a budget of $10,000 for a new Dell computer. I am leaning towards a T7600 and I am trying to determine the best configuration to fit. Should I go big with the Two Intel Xeon Processors E5-2687W (Eight Core, 3.1GHz, 20M, 8.0 GT/s, Turbo+) or cut that back and spend more on the video cards and ram? If you have suggestions let me know.

Thanks

oddly enough I would need to add it after the fact, Dell does not allow a SSD in that direct configuration. I would need to do that after the fact.
