Granted, that's one hell of a build and you probably won't need to buy a new one in the upcoming years. Although, wouldn't it be, performance-wise, better to get something below 2000$ and then perhaps, buy another one 2-3 years later for the same price than the whole package now at 4000$?
Why two DVD drives? As for Vista, of course, in the longer run, you won't regret it. Also, by the time you need to go SLI, it will probably be better just to buy a new video card... Finally, if you do decide to go with that build, get yourself a nice heatsink (even though intel's stock heatsink isn't that bad either). |
