OK I'm building a new Water cooled pc for me :D My wife is getting my old one(one listed in my sig). I will be OCing as far as I can get a Q9950 to go.. Ok I'm pretty sure i'm going to stick with DDR2 because of the price and DDR3 isn't much fast if at all. I'm looking to spend about 1500 on the pc, Water cooling system not included in the 1500. Think I want to stick with a Intel chip set.. Havn't had much luck with Nvidia bords.. Do want a bord with 2 16x pci express slots.. What bords do you recomed ? This is going to be a gamming pc, will be running raid 0.. Only going to have 2 hard drives ( WD 640's) I'm going to be playing at 1920x1200 to start with and going to 2560x1600 in a few months.. Thinking of going with a 4870x2..
 
Does your budget include shipping/taxes?
Which monitor/resolution do you want to get? When?
Which games are you going to play?
Which parts do you have in mind already (besides what you've already mentioned)?
Are there any parts you're reusing (from other/previous builds)?
