Since my other thread is kinda messy I'm going to clear things up:
This are the possible parts I am considering to take, feel free to add or remove some of them and give me some advice!!

info:
I'm going to use the computer mainly for gaming, also for downloading music and games, surfing on the web etc...

The price range is around 1500-2000$:
I live in Europe so this amount is just euros transferred to dollars,
But in Europe everything is a bit more expensive so keep an eye on that please (1000-1500 *1.6euro=1600-2400$)

Is there any way to purchase pieces in America and let them come to Europe?? I would gain a lot of profit since the euro is pretty strong atm... (any site, other way,...?)

CPU
I've decided to go quad because I want to keep this system for like 2-3 years so it's pretty future proof
Anyone not agreed with quad?

Please give comment, add or critique parts

Thank you!

CPU
q6600 is a great choice for price and speed

Mobo
I'd say gigabyte but that's just based on my own opinion

Vid Card
Good idea waiting on the release for price drop, but for that much I might consider actually buying the 4870 or 4870x2 when they're out

RAM
I have the G.Skill 800 and it works great, I have no complaints, so I'd go for the less expensive

HDD
I wouldn't recommend going RAID 0 as your only means of storage, RAID 0 basically means you're running two or more drives as a single drive, where data written is "split" amongst all drives in the array, allowing for faster writing and also reading times. The problem with that is, if one drive in the RAID 0 array fails, you lose all your data. That's why most people who have RAID 0 do so for their operating system and program files on faster HDD's, like the WD raptors or velociraptors, and run a reliable backup drive for important stuff. For reliability, I'd go with Western Digital, but again that's my own personal preference (although many would agree). Try a WD 6400AAKS for storage and important files:

And if you really want to raid 0, you can either pickup 2 cheap WD150 Raptors:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136011 (wouldnt really recommend this at this point though)

Or even better, pickup one of these babies and use just 1 for now without RAID, and when you get the money (or if you have it now) get 2 and put them in RAID 0:

Case
Mostly comes down to what you like the best, as long as it has decent cooling and fits your motherboard

PSU
I'd swear by Thermaltake's power supplies

Monitor
I'd personally recommend not getting a monitor with a TN panel. Some people don't mind them, but most people are annoyed with the colors/general appearance of TN panels vs. S-PVAs. You can check the model of monitor you're looking at and find out what kind of panel it has here:
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/panelsearch.htm

If you're going to spend the money on a 24", make it a nice 24". It amazes me when people have great systems but get cheap when it comes to monitors, when this is the single component you're going to have to stare at every moment you're using your computer. Dell makes some great monitors, especially the 2408WFP. I use two of the 2407WFP's and work and my coworker just got in the 2408's, and both look outstanding in color and contrast with almost no ghosting to speak of.

OS
Go for Vista 64 bit and get 8 gigs of ram. With a new gaming rig you'll want to be able to take advantage of DirectX 10, which is vista exclusive, and if you're going vista, you may as well go 64bit since more programs are being built with support for it.

Mouse & Keyboard
Logitech G series gaming mice are great, reliable, and inexpensive. I use the G3 at home, and I still have an MX500 at work that works perfectly after years and years of use. No reason to go with anything but logitech.

DVD burner looks fine.

Looks good from what Oh Snap has said. I'd definately stick with the Q6600 only because of the good price/performance that you get. Hopefully you are getting the G0 stepping. One thing I would say is that make sure you also throw in for a sound card for gaming, like the monitor, don't get cheap to the sound either, and that goes for good speakers too!

^ don't start with sound cards... not everyone agrees that they are necassary or even help for their cost.

For the case... I like the Antec 900 (I have one myself), but really its about user preference. Also remember the Antec 900 does not have dust filters (it stops some of the airflow), so if your a long-time sufferer of CBF and dont wish to clean out your comp once every 3 or so months, then get something with a dust filter.

Does it overclocks well? Why not a Q9450?, to high priced?

K, I don't know anything about so I probably won't even notice difference between a 130 and a 80$ RAM?

Lol, no need to put 2 HDD's together, making it more difficult for myself and I'm not going to need extremely fast and special HDD's, normal is ok

some preferences? Are the ones that I mentioned ok? and wich one of them most?

K, I can still see

What is TN?

I'm not going for 2 screens or 32 inch screens or so,
Just a decent one, but should I get 22 or 24 inch? do I have to spend a lot more in video cards when taking 24 inch?

Going to take 64 for sure,
But still I hear that vista suks on some things...
Like it blocks cheat engines etc (use it quite a lot) and some other things don't work as well...
Or is that adjustable?

Mouse & Keyboard
Logitech G series gaming mice are great, reliable, and inexpensive. I use the G3 at home, and I still have an MX500 at work that works perfectly after years and years of use. No reason to go with anything but logitech.

K, I'll look at them, at the family computer we have logitech and we had quite a lot of problems with the wireless keyboard and mouse, now we're only able to use the wireless mouse with a wired keyboard,
But that's an old version, wireless is ok?

I will clean it when needed

anymore suggestions?
