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).

lol
well i still live with mi perants and mi dad said if i pay half heel pay the other half
so i thought ill get best i can so it can last me for like 3 -4 years and build again. ill probly go with an 8800gts (320mb) since yu said by that time a better card will be better than sli

2 drives you ask, one drive will look a bit lonely lol , but i might have a dual monitor display (friends going to give me a monitor) so i can play 2 games at once, lol nah, only cause ittl look weird with only 1

also im not gonna buy a new 1
ill just be upgrading
like no need for a new mobo and a new screen n speakers and mouse keyboard etc

ill be upgrading ram and my graphics card along the way
and ill get the razer barracuda ac-1 sound card like 2 months after i build this (building in like 2 weeks)

so yeh
