New Build...Sorta

Okay, I am most likely not going to build this exact system but I am just listing some good stuff and later will decide which of it I can afford..

So anyway, heres the stuff:

-Some undecided tower

-AMD FX-62 processor

- ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131011

-2GB (2x1GB) Corsair XMS 240-pin DDR2 800 ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590

-2 74GB raptors (for RAID 0)

-2 GeForce 7950G2X video cards (quad Sli?)

- PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-Quad SLI PSU


Other parts I have already.

So do you guys have and suggestions or comments or anything? If you could suggest better parts (regardless of price) it would be much appreciated so that I could see which parts are the best, or close to it at the moment

Oh, and I will be using this computer mostly for Gaming and that kinda stuff.

I would wait for the conroes, every review I have seen has them blowing the AMD's out of the water across the board.

Yes, the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 will be the top of the line, and all the articles that I have seen lately say the 27th for the release date.

Yeah, that's right. Supposedly Intel starting yelling at retailers selling their shipments before the 27th or taking pre-orders...

apparently you can buy the E6700, which is about half the price of the extreme model, for a tiny decreace in performance, yet still knocks the socks off the fx-62
