Alright everyone if possible I would like some opinions on this build and if possible can anyone recommend any products that I would add/replace with something else? Thanks.

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR

ASUS Extreme AX1900XTX/2DHTV Radeon X1900XTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Ready Video Card - Retail

COOLER MASTER Centurion 532 RC-532-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

And of course the E6600 when it comes available, thinking about placing a backorder with TigerDirect. Thanks and any info is appreciated.
 
Solid man, solid. Personally, I don't care for any cases outside of Silverstone or LianLi. I just shudder when people put their bleeding edge tech inside anythin other than brushed aluminum. You will most likely change your board/ram or cpu before you change a case. the case is the foundation and basis avenue for cooling. My manra is "dont skimp on cases" or PSUs for that matter.
 
If you are going to drop so much cash on that rig I would opt for some better memory such as the G,SKill HZ or some Team Group. Pretty much anything D9GHM based will fly.
 
Can you guys give me a link for a case and RAM you'd recommend? Thanks.

Also what is the best heatsink/fan?

Sorry for the questions, I haven't really been keeping up to speed on this stuff, been too busy.
 
You are going to pay more for the Fancy LED's and stuff for the same performance as something cheaper. Give us a price range and we will figure it out for you.
 
I just realized that is 2GB sticks x 2 and i don't need that, i just want 2GB.

$250 for RAM should be good, right?
 
Hmm... if you're spendin 350 already, I'd just hit up another 100 and just go G.Skill DDR2 1000 if you've got it. You're a big spender, lol. That system's gotta cost around 2k USD.
