I was about to just purchase one from alienware, but I would rather learn how to build my own computer and see if I can do it cheaper, and better. If building it myself is wise, i would like some ideas on what I should spent on.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Anytime from tomorrow to Nov. 1st. Have money now, but I am flexible
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: High end gaming. Movies, surfing the web, anything a PC can do.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard and mouse
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: No preference
PARTS PREFERENCES: None
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: No preference
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I would like this computer to last for a while. Price can go up to 4.5k for a really good reason
EDIT: I bought these Parts:

1 HD5870 can compete and sometimes (happens a lot
) beat the GTX295 for like $100 less (approx.)
Here's another build i posted in another thread..
---------------------------
CPU: Intel i7 920 -- $270
GPU: XFX HD5870 1GB -- $380
Main-Board: Asus P6T Deluxe V2 -- $290
Ram: Corsair XMS3 6GB PC3 12800 C7 -- $155
PSU: Corsair HX850 -- $180
HDD: 2x SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 1TB -- $80 x2 = $160
SSD: Corsair X128D 128GB G2 MLC SSD -- $385
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 -- $140
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H50 -- $80
DVD Drive: Regular Lite-On DVD +/-RW -- $34
Total (approx.) $2074 w/o Tax, MIRs or shipping fees..
This sytem will do anything you want and include the most powerful single GPU, i7 9xx CPU, a very good mobo with good OC'ing, 2TB storage, 128 GB SSD and 6GB 1600MHz C7 Ram. I dare to say no game will stand against it
(or any other thing
)
---------------------------
I think it's pretty good. And would be enough for most games with great upgrade-ability if you ever need to
Sorry for "mindless" if there's anything cloned..
Edit| Maybe this will interest you.

That looks like a great build, just looking at the parts. Is there something else I will need to get?well if you need a monitor, i would suggest going over to dell.com and getting a refurb 30" 3008 (not the 3007 as it may not be an S-IPS monitor)
yeah its $1200, but the monitor would last a long time

The SSD will speed everything including games by increasing the load speeds of (not-loaded-yet) files.
The HD5870 is more than enough for 1920x1200 8xAA Crysis at Enthusiast (all settings) so 2560x1600 ~4xAA won't be a problem for it. Still he can upgrade in a year when prices are down a bit. Even then DX11 games would be out and the GPU performance would be much better with it as the only reason to add another card is for new intensive games which should be using the API this card is professional with..
Sorry for English..

Another question: is it safe/sane to cherry pick parts from one build or another, or should i, as a newbie stick with a single build?People do it all the time. What I'm about to say is going to get some negative and hopefully positive feedback. That $300 Asus mobo...for what you intend to use this rig for...that mobo is a total waste of money. That $80 heat sink that was posted...unless you plan on going for a clock of +4.0...it's another total waste of money imo. The SSD was and is a good call. But when you put out a budget like you did, your going to get expensive but not really needed components posted on your thread.
So yes, cherry picking from one build to another is a very good idea imo.

And are there any compatability issues to look out for? and I am not worried at all about price, since this is still 3k cheaper than alienware.It's all compatible on here. I would take my build, add that SSD Sykes posted, use the RAM he posted instead of the slower RAM I posted, and call it good.

LOL...maybe the kitchen sink? No...I would say that build of yours covers just about everything...and I mean that literally. If there's a game that's going to stress that build of yours...it's most likely going to come out five years from now at the earliest. Ya, that's definitely a Ferrari you have there.

Um.. Nothing but again i think it's better to wait for the CF setup and just get one now (if managed to grab it!) and CF later if you need to (prices might get low by the day you want to get higher than the HD5870
)
And you listed 3 1TB HDDs
I didn't know you needed an OS nor a Blue-Ray drive but you have good options there. Can you get links?
Ah, And you can't order 2 HD5870s from the same comoany at the same time and i wouldn't get anything but XFX and HIS which both are out of stock!
Sorry for English..
Also you might want to take a look at the TX850 considering you might not need a modular PSU but i just picked it (HX850) up because it's 80+ Silver certified.

1st You listed the Ram twice..
2nd The "Killer" network card is totally overrated and you won't notice that so called performance boost! You better try the built-in GigaBit ports (team them) and then decide.
- The main problem isn't in finding a place to sell you 2 XFX HD5870. The main problem is to find a place that has them is stock to get even 1 to start with

I think you have too many cards in there.
My count is 2 PCI plus 2(?) PCIe x16
which won't fit on the p6t deluxe v2.
The video card will cover one of the PCI slots unless you only have one video card and you put it in one of the bottom PCIe slots (Does this give proper performance anyway?)
Both the sound card and K1 NIC appear to be deativated on newegg though.
Do you really need the K1? It probably wont make a difference.
I don't know but much about sound cards, but if you get e PCI express 1x one it will physically fit better.

Taking out the K1 and sound card makes you w/o the need for a better mobo! the P6T Deluxe V2 will do it fine!However the board you linked is VERY good! and can do true 3-way SLI/CF @ x16 but remember that it uses the "nasty" (in my opinion!) NF200 chip..
I'll update later..
What is the "nasty" NF200 chip?

As I said I don't know much about sound cards (the onboard on my P6t deluxe v2 is more than good enough, although it is surprisingly much better than my previous computer's so perhaps there is room for improvement and I just don't know better.)
PCIe 1x is supposed to have a higher bandwidth than PCI and should be newer tech so I would imagine that the soundcard would be just as good if not better.
If I really needed a soundcard I would have stuck it on the top slot above the graphics card, leaving airflow room under it and for CF.
Basically I think you normally look at what functionality you need, ie add in cards, and find a board/case/psu to fit.
I don't know enought to comment on the P6T6 vs the P6T v2.

No! I meant i don't like the NF200 chip they use! That's why i quoted the word.. Sorry!
Maybe we should wait for someone else to comment on the NF200 chip..
Also for the same price consider this PSU *Note: With MIR $40 = $199.99

Very good! But you said you dropped the sound card!
The mobo will be good but i don't know much about it unfortunately.. However it will be enough for the GPUs and the sound card (Network card?)
If you need the Vista ultimate why didn't you get the retail? I heard that "OEM"s can only be used 1 time and a OEM Vista will get you a OEM 7..
You could have waited for Vapor-X/IceQ4+ editions of the HD5870 and then get the 2nd one..
One last Q.. How is the listed Ram came to you at $200+ while i see it at NewEgg for $170+ and CasL7 ??
A side note.. Don't expect to come here asking for upgrade help before Q3 2011!

You can run different brands and models of the same card in CF/SLI as long as they use the same chip (R870)
See this
If you're going to get the Gulf Town CPU once it's available expect better performance in games! A free boost!
And why 6 sticks of Ram? they'll generate a lot of heat and you won't be able to add more without taking 3 off and replacing them with 4GB sticks..
Post pics and benchmarks when you're done
Specially Crysis! And MW2, AS2 if you ever consider them (a PM would be enough)
Glad i helped you..
