Tax return came today = new PC tommorow:

Proposed Specs (Canadian Dollars):

MOBO - MSI 975X Platinum $222
CPU - Intel Pentium D 940* $??? Assuming ~$180
GPU - X1900 Crossfire $500
RAM - Corsair TWIN2X1024 $133
HDD - WD 250GB KS $108
Case - Antec P180 $155
PSU - Seasonic 500HT $129

Using existing DVD+/-RW and Sound Card.

*$133USD, 'nuff said

Total Cost (After Tax): $1641.05

CPU to be upgraded to Conroe and RAM to be expanded to 2GB later this year.

Edit: Changed the motherboard again. I've found a good deal on a X1900 Crossfire card, and this board is getting the Conroe CPUs up to 4.4Ghz!
 
wait til conroe, and thr 7900's are having some trouble or atleast some of them. Also don't go with a ati cf board, go with like a normal asus intel board or dfi if you wanna oc. But wait til conroe!
 
I think Crossfire would be a waste of your money. Just get an ATI X1900 XT and overclock it to XTX speeds.
 
I'm buying the crossfire from a friend of mine, so it's cheaper than the XT. I'm going to hold off on the system until Conroe is out though. I did a cost comparison and it's a crapload cheaper for me to wait.
