Everything will pretty much be bought from NCIX, unless there are deals elsewhere (Canadian), and I already bought the PSU.
Opinions/suggestions very much appreciated.
GPU : 4850x2, I think I'm about 80% on this...Is there a release date on these? I heard Mid September? I'm cheaping out with a P45 Mobo, or might go 2xPalit Radeons for 163 each http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1074 or maybe even 1x260 GTX for $240, what should I do?
PSU : Corsair HX620 - Will I be able to run a 4850x2 on this? I think it requires 2x6pin? Bought this sexy beast for $99
Case : CM 690 - $80
Mobo : Asus P5Q-Pro - $140+free shipping for order ($50 value)
if you guys have ANY suggestion on superior parts to swap out with my current build, please say so!?
as long as the price is pretty reasonable for performance
Looks good with good reasoning behind your choices. I'd really try to wait for the HD4850x2. Good build. You could always go with a 9800GX2, but honestly i'd grit my teeth , cuss and wait for the 4850x2

ya, i'm only planning to go with a one GPU solution...4850x2 is the logical choice, but i just don't know when it's coming and i'm getting trigger happy :\ i went for a p45 to save about $150 compared to a x38/x48 mobo (100 diff+50 on shipping), which will allow me more money to splurge on a GPU(s), also saving on a nice modular PSU, only downfall is it only supports 2x6pin, so either cf 4850, or 1 GPU solutions. i'm gaming at 1920x1200, so i'll be needing a strong gpu that'll hold up for a while i wanna play d3/sc2 maxed :\ any idea on a release date for the 4850x2? makes sense that the 4850x2 would come before the 4870x2, guess ati really wanted to push out nvidia for high end cards hah
