This is what I'm running on and while I love gadgets amd upgrading them, I'm not allowed to touch this PC for a while. (At least until the sticker shock of the original purchase wears off of Stewart)

Core 2 Duo E6600 "Conroe" CPU Dual Core, 4MB Cache

eVGA Socket 775 680i SLI MB SLI, SATA2, RAID, GLAN, DDR2

XFX GeForce 7950 GT Extreme PCI-e Card, 512 MB DDR3

Western Digital 250GB SATA-II 7200RPM WD2500KS 16MB Cache

Coolermaster 600 Watt Extreme Power Supply w/120mm Fan

1gig DDR2 667Mhz SO-DIMM

And my favorite part of the whole thing: Aspire X-Pleasure Blue Aluminum Gaming Case X-Pleasure-BL http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144128 except mine's dark blue instead of yucky boring black

Of course I have no idea what most of this means, Brorlis told me what to get and I LOVE it.
