I might change a few things if I were to do this... The Q9650 is great, but for the money you might as well go to Core i7. You can get a 920 for $40 less, slower clock speed, but maybe better and a longer future. Just have to get a compatible motherboard, which might be about the same as the one you picked... And a triple channel memory kit. They're not all that bad either, so you might be at the same price so far.
As for the Raptor, they have high nerd appeal, but for $200 I could think of better drive configurations to run... like a handful of 750GB drives or a pair of 1TB drives...
You definitely picked nice stuff, but that is just my  |
