Im looking at an i7 build, well rebuld of my current system.
I did have my Q6600 OC'd to just 3.0Ghz and Abode gave me fits and acts just fine at stock speed. Even had to lower my memory back 1.8v

Vista_64 Ult(Adobe runs just fine, might have to wait untill Adobe supports Win7, which might not happen, and dont see CS5 comming out anytime soon.)
MSI X58 Platinum SLI
CORSAIR XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) (PC3 10600) want to keep at 1.5v
Intel i7 950(stock, no OC)
(2) VelociRaptor RAID0(OS/Apps)
(reuse) RaptorX(1.5 Gb/s) for scratch drive
(reuse) EVGA GTS 250/1GB
(reuse) PCP&C 750W
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 (sick,sick of all the noise)
(3) Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm case fans


I work with 1080P, Adobe & Blender.

I will reuse my GTS250/1GB untill I can the Quadro 3800(aka GTX 260)

And add an Adaptec RAID w/4 V.Raptors or SDD's after 6Gb/s comes out a gets a little seasoned.

Also will add another 24" LCD later....

Im wanting to get at least 3 years out of this system, no OC'ing.

thanks.....
 
the system should last you 3 years.. but you are probably going to want to overclock it to get the added performance for adobe and PSCS5.. the i7 really does need the overclocking to get the added performance.. but if you can get the i7 920 for cheaper then the 950 id do that then just overclock the cpu to the same speed as the 950 if thats all you want for speed.. also the noctua heatsink should easily get you to 3.8ghz without any issues.. and dont waste your money on a quadro.. they are not worth it.. you can get specific drivers through nvidia to adobe apps that will basicly create the same performance out of say the gtx 260 as the quadro 3800 would give you..
