Need help with new build!

[patrikkogoj]

I'm buying new computer and i would need some major assistance. I live in Europe, so I'll put prices down in € (1€ = about 1.6$). Computer would need to last at least 3 years and it would be cool if games would run normally by that time (got 2.000€ budget)
So, here is present setup:

Memory: 1x Pomnilnik Mushkin DDR2 4GB KIT 800/PC6400 RETAIL Extreme Performance 996580 100€

Processor: Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 180€

Board: EVGA nForce 780i SLI 775 A1 Version 220€

GPU: 2x Foxconn 9800GX2 (SLI) 900€

HDD: HDD WD 750GB 7200 16MB SATA2/300 GREEN POWER 114,00€

DvD writer: 2x DVD/RW NEC AD-7203S-0B SATA BULK BLACK 50€

Case: Thermaltake Xaser VI 180€

Power Supply: Power LC1050 1000W (maybe High Power 1200W, if 1000W won't be enough for SLI) 220€

Windows Vista Ultimate 150€

Cooler: Scythe NINJA CU SCNJ-CU1000 57€

^+1.

@OP: What resolution do you game at? and what games do you play,what other software do you run (ie video editing)?

1920x1200 / I play everything (incl. crysis) and I sometimes use photoshop, edobe elements and such programs - not that often even
I'd also love to have some fun with oc-ing (thats why i chose q6600 over q9450)

Nice, in general.

Which Xaser VI? For example newegg has some mid towers and some full towers. Get a full tower.

The Green Power is slower than other drives. Get a WD7500AAKS instead, or WD6400AAKS.

1000W is enough. I would recommend getting a known brand of PSU, from Nvidia's list of PSUs certified for 9800GX2. E.g. PC Power & Cooling Silencer 860W, Corsair 1000HX, Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W.

There are advantages in getting two DIFFERENT burners rather than two identical burners.

I assume you have a 24" monitor or bigger, otherwise get a single 9800GX2 for now.

^Agreed on the GPU.
