is this build good

Well thats a great build, except buy a velociraptor for your main driver. You are spending too much, get one or two cards, get a cheaper CPU, i just think its gonna lose all value to quickly

+78 to huron...

Also where do you think your going to fit all those cards? the 3 GTX 280's are going to cover everything.

You will most likely have a heating issue with the 3 gtx 280s. Having all three bunch up agaisnt each other will cause problems. Should consider water cooling for these.

That is true... You could probably save money on a toaster as well, just hold your bread up to the graphics exhaust and it'd be golden brown in no time.

Exactly - very smart to seek advice.

If you're going i7 - try this:

920 CPU

Asus X58

6GB Triple Channel Memory

Western Digital 640 GB HDD (black if you want ot spend the extra $15-$20) or SSD or Velociraptor if you want to spend a lot more - I would go with the 640GB

GTX 280 or 4870x2 (benefit of crossfire and SLI board)

Monitor looks beautiful - way out of my price range, but probably stunning - you'll have to sit like 5 feet from that thing

PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, Antec PSUs are good choices

After market cooler for that CPU so you can overclock it up to the specs of a processor twice its price.

Blu-ray burner is OK if you plan on using it, but my guess is that they will come down in price.

Let us know if you revise your list.

well of course i revised my list i will be gettin a quad core and ddr2 ram and 2x4870

Total is $3,886.87

That CPU gets beat by the one huron posted, the new 920 i7.
And the 920 is cheaper, and also a great overclocker, you can easily overclock it to 3.7ghz.

They use the new x58 boards like this:

And then those boards support the new triple channel ddr3 memory.
Here is a good set:

And if you want more HDD speed, you could raid 0 two of those WD 640's.

ok i revised myself again and here is the parts total : 4000 dollars

thanks but i was going to spend 6000 i think that the sound card is suitable for me and do you really think that even if the psu is overkill it will let me make tons of upgrades before i need to change it and it will provide my system with the power it needs neither less nor more so i think that a big psu isn't an overkill and thanks huron you helped me very very much as i as crazy

Here is a combo deal at newegg you might be interested in:

IMO the case is much better than the Thermaltake. The PSU however is not as good as your pc power and cooling one you have selected, but it is extreme overkill for yoursetup. The antec 850 signature is still major overkill for your system and it has the ability to last you through many future upgrades. I would consider this a good item to have. Something to keep in mind is the number of watts doesn't determine the quality of the power supply (PC power and cooling though is one of the best).

Well saying that I think your at the point for hitting the submit button. Order away. If you can justify all the parts on this list which it looks like you have it'll be a good rig for yourself. Might not be the best bang for your buck but it'll suit your needs very well.

some one has too much money!! lol
