More Information

Still undecided on which processor:
Looking to game at 1900x1200, watch movies, etc and probably run some virtual machines (partly why debating on processor still)

Q6600 with 2x2GB 6400 RAM ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115018 ) + ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145194 )
or
e8400 with 2x2GB 8500 RAM ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115037 ) + ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227289 )

with OCZ Vendetta 2 cooler ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835202007 )

WD 640 GB HDD ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136218 )
~600W PSU
single rail ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139005 )
vs 3 rails ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139002 ) is there much of a difference?
either HD 4870 or GTX 260 depending on prices in the next couple of weeks

case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811112180

Which motherboard should I get?
Any other suggestions/comments would be appreciated, thanks!
