Hi all.. this is my first post in this forum...

First, sorry if this is the billionth post about new gaming rig suggestion, and sorry about my english ( English is not my first language :D)

I would like to make this gaming rig. Any comment and suggestion will be appreciated.

CPU : Intel Core i7-920
Motherboard : ASUS P6T Deluxe
Video Card : 2x Gigabyte ATI Radeon 4870X2 (GV-R487X2-2GH-B)
PSU : Corsair HX1000W
Memory : Corsair TR3X6G-1600C9 (6GB DDR3 Triple Channel Memory XMS3 Classic)
Hard Drive : Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 32 Mb Cache
DVD : LG DVD burner 22x read-speed
Case : iCute 0408SL-5G1-BB
Monitor : Samsung T220 LCD (22", 1680x1050 pixels, 2ms, 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio)
Speaker : Logitech Z-5500 digital 5.1 Surround Speaker

I would like to overclock my CPU to 3.2 Ghz or higher. Do I have to change the heatsink fan to the custom fan or can I use the default Intel fan that comes with the CPU?

Can I play Grand Theft Auto 4 perfectly with 2x ATI Radeon 4870X2 in CrossfireX ?

Do I have to use Vista Ultimate 64 bit to use all the 6GB memory? What will happen if I use Vista Ultimate 32 bit?
 
If you want to use all 6GB of memory, you will have to install Vista 64 bit. If you use 32 bit, you can only use like 3.3GB of memory. You might want to try answering these questions so we can help you with your build:


1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
3) Where do you live?
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
6) Will you be overclocking?
7) What size monitor do you have or plan to have?
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
 
Buy a cpu cooler, a must for any OCing, even the cheapest one you can find will be one of the best investments for your PC.

64bit Vista, otherwise you will only see less then 3 gigs (minus the GFX ram)
