I´m thinking of buying a new computer but now to my problem.

1. Should I go with this:
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
EVGA nForce 680i SLI
Asus GeForce 8800GTX (To run dual 24" displays)
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5D 2048MB
Creative SB X-Fi Platinum - Fatal1ty
Asus GeForce 7600GT (To run one more 24" or maybe a touchscreen)
Western Digital Raptor X 150GB
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB like quad those
Silverstone Zeus 750W

2. Or should I be buying this:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
Asus P5W Dh Deluxe
Asus GeForce 8800GTX (To run dual 24" displays)
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5D 2048MB
Creative SB X-Fi Platinum - Fatal1ty
Asus GeForce 7600GT (To run one more 24" or maybe a touchscreen)
Western Digital Raptor X 150GB
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB like quad those
Silverstone Zeus 750W

Which one is the better thing to buy right now?
If I buy the E6600 then I going to upgrade it in 2 years to the QX6700 or don´t you think the Kentsfield QX6700 have been standard then?

Please help me choose..
 
holy crap both of those are awesome.

if youhave the money, by all means go get quad core

I play games and thinking of starting to make own movies, music and some photoshop work with picture.
Should I go with number 2 and then upgrade to a QX6700 when I can use that better then I can do now?

Can I overclock much with the EVGA nForce 680i SLI and Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8500C5D 2048MB??
 
As far as best value goes, the E6600 setup would be it (and, of course, upgrading it to kentsfield later). Its like the dual core CPUs... they werent worth it til they dropped to the same price as single core CPUs at the time they came out. So now, a good dc cpu will run you about the same as people used to pay for good single core cpus. Get the qc cpu when it comes down in price to about the same cost as a good dc cpu :p Even if I could afford a core2quad, I'd still wait til the price/performance ratio was much better.
 
Why bother getting a 7600gt to run just two more screens? You can find regular PCI cards for dirt cheap to do that. Heck you could dig up a Radeon 7000 and a matrox dual head2go.
 
yup. but if you're not going to use the sli capabilities, get the nf ultra board instead of sli.
