					| You didn't specify. 
 Also, it looks good, but you should've waited for the next gen of video cards, lots of problems with vista compatability, DX10 and said video cards.

					| If you went for a Quadcore, why didn't you go for a better mainboard, better RAM, and a better video card? If you are burning that much money on a top-of-the-line CPU, why not go for the best in all other classes?
 MSI -> evga or asus
 kingston -> 4gb ocz or corsair
 gts -> gtx

					| yeah like i just posted in the other thread, quad core IS the way to go if your building a system to last a good long while. at the moment, most games and apps will run better with a dual or single core obviously, but the future IS in multi threaded apps... and yeah the other guys got a point... why not get the top of the line components.. a gts makes no real sense... if your running low on cash, just buy a low cost crap card.
 im looking at getting that commando motherboard for my quad core... or are there any better suggestions for what i should get about 2 months from now? anyone? im aiming for a crossfire system so that'd need to be taken into account.
