Time to start over!!!

Well, its that time for me to purchase a new pc and need a little help doing so. At the moment my heart is set on crossfire as ati are doing rather well and thinking of making this pc quite the beast, money is not an option, just want to hear what u guys have to say, go all out!!! All points will be taken into consideration. Would be interesting to see what u guys have in mind!

Cheers guys, i want to order this pc in pieces and assemble it myself so make sure that everything compatable.

Thanks again guys

Plenty of posts around with good lists. Start with an x48 board and go from there.

Q9550/E8400
X48/P45
HD4870
OCZ Vendetta 2
Antec 1200/Cosmo S

other component you pick what you like in terms of HDD,optical drive etc

Yep I'd also avoid DDR3 until your next build when it makes sense price/performance-wise.

Check out some other $2000-$2500 builds to get ideas on parts and PSU requirements, etc. X48 is probably the motherboard you'll be using for maximum Crossfire performance. CPU, you probably want a Q9450 or Q9550 and a good heastink like Vendetta 2 or Sunbeam Core Contact to overclock. 4Gb DDR2-800 or 1066 depending how high you want to OC. 640gb Western Digital hard drive. 24" LCD. Hmm sorry should have made that a list for you, but you get the idea

DDR3 is considered a waste because the performance gain is negligible for how much more it costs than DDR2.

However if you are considering upgrading your computer to the new Nehalem chipset then it may be worth it to get it now so you do not have to later. Then again, DDR3 prices will probably drop once Nehalem is mainstream.
