In light of a couple of deals I have worked out, I will be rebuilding my rig this weekend. Tell me what you think.

Before

E6750 @ 3.2Ghz
Scythe Ninja
Abit IP35-E
2x2GB G.Skill DDR2-800
MSI 8800GT OC
Seagate 7200.10 320GB Boot
Seagate 7200.11 500GB Data
Antec TruePower Trio 430

After

E6750
Zalman CNPS9500 AT
MSI P35D3 Platinum
2x2GB G.Skill Pi Series DDR3-1333 @ 7-7-7-18
2x Visiontek HD3870OC in Crossfire
2x WD Raptor 74GB Raid 0 Boot
2x Seagate 7200.11 500GB Raid 0 Data
Antec Earthwatts 500 (Considering another PSU in it's place)

I know it's a bit overkill as I do light-moderate gaming @ 1440x900 but I got the parts at minimal expense to myself, so why not build it. Tell me what you think.
 
If you were buying the stuff this is what i would say:
-Drop the raptors and get something just as good with more space and les price ( WD3200/6400AAKS)
-2 3870 dont equal 1 4870. But a 4850 would suffice for you resolution
- You dont need crossfire, get a Gigabyte Ds3r/ds3l or alike ASUS
- DDR3 is overpriced for the preformance gain ( as there is little if any) over DDR2 atm
- Corsair 750, But that Antec EA 500 is good stuff.
- e8400 for cpu, hard to beat the price/preformance
-
 
I agree with you, but everything except the DDR3 are items I have sitting in a closet. I'm actually happy with my build as it is. The upgrades are only costing me about $200 out of pocket
 
i forgot my last Bulletin
- But since you already have all the stuff.... Enjoy and post pics!

Dont get DDR3, Me thinks prices will fall a decent amount q1 09 and right now its just not worth it.
 
Yeah, plus why install a 32bit O/S when the hardware supports 64bit and will take advantage of 64bit later on. No sense get Vista if it's only going to be 32 bit.
