Plans for new build

[bigKr33]

Right now my plans for part choice arent a for sure thing. See i have a connection with someone who works for a company that can get pretty much any computer component whole sale, with an additional discount off the whole sale price. Until i get more info, heres the run down of what the parts are:

case:

memory:

optical drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827152079
hard drives
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148142
motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188013
psu: With this much power in the system i don't really know what type of psu i should get. Please feel free to give me some recommendations.
cpu:
This should do for crysis http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115011
soundcard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102005
gpu:
doesnt really matter what brand, as long as its sli 8800gtx
monitor:
Either the dell 3007, or the new 30" hp. Don't quote me on this, but i believe i heard the hp has better color accuracy.

And yes i do tend overclock. Retail this entire setup would be north of $5000, but i did the calculation for what my discount would be, and it came out to around $2200 and that includes the monitor in that total.

As you see i'm taking advantage of the situation. Some of the parts may change though. An example would be the ram, i have no expertise on team xtreem, but hear they offer great performance. As long as the ram overclocks great i'll be happy. The hardest thing though is finding a case that can disapate all that heat.

For the case, if you are going watercooling, get either the StackerMaster 810 or the STC-T01
If you're going air cooled, get the StackerMaster 830-832
Just My Personal Opinion Though Of Course
Your setup looks pretty much what i am going for, or atleast was :P Im going to be getting the EVGA mobo too, for the memory i am going with 2 Gb Kit Team Xtreme DDR2 (2 x 1Gb) 3-3-3-8 800 Mhz. In a review done by madshrimps they were able to clock it to 1248Mhz, also at cas 4 it ATE the Corsair Dominator PC8888's
For your vid card, i would go with the BFG OC2's They're better than the EVGA XXX. Ill personally be waiting for the 8850/8950GX2 (Whatever they decide to call it) to come out
For the psu i've gone with something that will pretty much be future proof, the Silverstone OP1000. Reason being is its single rail.
With the cpu, i was going to get a QX6800 but have decided to get an e6600 and wait for penryn to come out in 6 or so months time. (I'll be able to OC the e6600 to a much better speed than the QX and it should be able to handly crysis without any trouble.)
Ill prolly be getting the same harddrive
I would change your Swiftech Storm to a Swiftech Apogee GTX (And bow it) its better for the quad core cooling.
Ill prolly have to wait till the price of the 30" LCD's drop here in AUS before i buy one

DAMNED BACKWATER HOLE! :P

For the optical, i would personally recommend the Pioneer 212.
Ill prolly be getting the same sound card too (If it will fit on my mobo with the 2 8850/8950GX2's)

But once again, this is just my opinion. I will say this though, i've never put so much time and effort into something before as i have for my rig :P

CPU- no need for Qx6700 the Q6600 is good enough and half the price
RAM- that team memory is one of the best kits the money can but however it is not the best for the price so i will be better to pick a total of 4GB of Crucial PC8500 memory the tracer version for 205$/kit or non tracer for 200$/kit


Edit : for the PSU ,,, Ultra X3 for 290$
