Get the Rampage Formula. If you are going to go all out, get the Rampage or Wi-Fi X48 from ASUS.
Best boards ever. End of story [least from my experience anyway].

for ssd get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227344 for half price. i think they are faster too, except for access time
Q6600
Powercolor Ax6870 1GB
Corsair HX620
WD3200AAKS
MSI p43 neo3
patriot 2gb 800MHz
DO NOT BUY A GIGABYTE BOARD for the love of $5k builds dont. Rampage Extreme or DFI x48 T3RS or Foxconn Blackops ONLY
otherwise this looks great, sounds like an awesome build. word has it that swiftech is releasing a new WC kit with the apogee GTZ and an MCR320 so i would definitely wait for that kit for best cooling
Where's the Western Digital Velociraptor? It's a good drive. A couple in mirrored RAID would be a good idea. Stable.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I'm a defrag nut, I run VoptXP on a fairly regular basis and I will on the SSD once everything's loaded. But... I intend to use the SSD for my system drive for the OS only. I don't run a swap (uh why would I?) and my desktop will actually be on my e:\ drive, RAID-5.
You are lucky in not running a swap/page file that some programs dont FAK up. Some applications NEED a pagefile defined.
I run a 2GB size on a different HDD than my OS. Works out like a champ!

- It took God 7 days to create earth because he was rendering with Radiosity, Raytraced Shadows and Caustics.
You guys rock, really. Thanks for confusing the hell outta me lol
Now I'm back on NewEgg and playing with 3 different wish lists and swapping out everything again. *sigh*
Thanks for the input. Really, some great suggestions here.
