    thats some spec, you've listed the best in every catergory just about!! :eek: what the hell u wanna use it for?!

    I've just built myself a new one but to a budget and but i werent fussed about a meaty graphics card or excessive disk space or memory. AMD 64 (venice), 1gb ram, dvd writer, 500 gb disk space, audigy 2 sound card
    And thats set me back about £300.



    £250 for ya 4gb mem.
    £350 for ya graphics card and u want two!!! :eek:
    £300 for ya TB of disk space
    £400 for the Intel processor

    approx £100 for motherboard.
    £180 for the soundblaster.

    2 grand might just about cover it, then again it prob be more!!!! :D :eek: £££££££££

    Rab, if you're gonna build that PC you're gonna also want the following:

    A huge fuckoff PSU to power it (SLI setups take a LOT of power to run). You're not gonna be able to skimp on a cheap 500W either, you'll need to get a high end one.

    And unless you want it to sound like a hoover, some passive cooling kits for the cards.

    Only other thing I'd say is that unless you need hyperthreading I'd go for an AMD setup, which not only run cooler, but handle SLI far better than the Intel rigs.
