XPS M1730,IntelCore2Duo T9300@2.5GHZ,2x8800MGTX in SLI,4GB DDR2 667 RAM,DUAL 250GB 7200 RPM,VISTA HP with SP1,17" with 1920x1200 resolution
Unless you have a desire to go with SLI, I would steer clear of the 780i. nVidia chipsets are always a bit fiddly if you ask me. Not only that but one has to hope that they have truely fixed their SATA corruption issues. I would suggest something from the X38, or P45 chipset. Both of which should be cheaper, and run cooler (especially the P45).
Next, considering recent developments in the GPU arena, I would consider changing the 9800GTX to a HD4850. The 9800GTX should come down in price shortly putting it on par price wise, but it's still subpar IMO performance wise.
Love the case, I bought one for my boys computer. Plenty of cooling, even if you turn the fan switches to low/medium.
