You might want to wait on the processor cause intel is going to release i8 here by end of the year.

But I do have to say that is one hell of a setup.

Yeah, I'm not going to actually buy this, just seeing what it would cost. I've not been very happy with Intel's cpu lineup lately. I'd like to see the Skulltrail platform get better support. A 2-way quad core might actually be able to drive a 3 or 4 way sli system to it's fullest potential. From what I have seen in my current system with a AMD 940 and 9800GX2 the CPU is a big bottleneck. Benchmarks on other systems I have seen with the i7 processors seem to have trouble maxing out the SLI gfx systems as well. It's all overkill anyway I just play Starcraft =P
