Definitely a good idea, only difference between 680i and 780i chipsets are the PCIe 2.0 and triple SLI. Wait until DDR 3 is standard.

Right, and tri SLI is a gimmick right now.

Replying from my new PC and it ROCKS! Vista is nice but the security is sort of annoying. About to install crysis. Only annoying part about building it was connecting the cables from the power supply.

I can't wait because I'm getting the same parts. Just waiting on a couple more paychecks even though I could easily buy the stuff right now.

I would definitely recommend the same or similar parts. So far the only game i can't play on max settings is crysis and even thats on high.

I was thinking about getting this dual core instead of the quad core because it clocks at 3.0GHz and has a larger cache, but I found out that the Q6600 quad core can be OC'd to 3.0 GHz without having to change the voltage and without having to swap out the stock fan.

We also just got an upgrade.

After: http://far...31045_dd2258e47a.jpg?v=0

I'm finding out you can never have too many USB ports....
