The budget of my upcoming PC is about $3000, but the subtotal at newegg has to cost ~2800 to accomodate tax and shipping.
here is what I've come up with while lurking around these forums:

I'm not set on the case, but that is about the pricerange I'm looking for in for a case. I am currently split between the Antec P180B or Lian Li PC-60BPlusII (I'm not too interested in flashy cases ). I'm mainly interested in cooling, but also need space for the 8800gtx as well as an aftermarket cpu HSF. I'm leaning towards the zalman 9500 because its smaller than most of the other highly recommended aftermarket coolers, but if anything better/bigger would fit then please tell me. I would also like the case to be quiet, which is why I am leaning towards the P180B, though I've heard its tough to build in.
I've also read about the Intel having price cuts April 22, but I didn't see the extreme chips on the list at the websites I've gone to. Does the price drop extend to the QX6700?
Thank you for any help!
