Using some parts from my old rig, but I grabbed the following:
Antec Sonata III Black w/ 500w Antec Powersupply
Q9550 Core 2 Quad 2.83Ghz
Asus P5Q Mobo
4 GB PC6200 RAM
ASUS EAH4870 DDR5 512 MB
Not sure whats happening with my most of my old rig, maybe a bailout contest.

Nice upgrade but an Asus 260GTX TOP might have been a better choice than the 4870 because of the extra ram and better driver support.
-
i got a 4870 too!

I'm debating building a new rip. I kinda want to use my Mac Pro as a Mac, and from a PSU perspective, it's pretty limited.
Anyone want to help me out a bit? Smooth? What's hot right now? Needs to be better than the Mac Pro in all regards. I want quad core, faster than my current machine (3.0ghz) and I want a humungadunga power supply because I am SLI-curious. No less than 1000w. I'd like to keep it in the neighborhood of 2 grand. I don't need a GPU (immediately), either. I have that covered.

I didn't buy anything. Sadface. I will buy Silent Hill on Tues/Weds though.

If you're willing to spend that much, I'd wait a few more months for the I7 processor. It's a new chip and should be faster than the current quad-cores. Also, the I7 mobo is supposed to be compatible with both crossfire and SLI.
Honestly, I think it's worthwhile to upgrade to a new PSU+ GPU upgrade right now since you game at 1920x1200. I've seen significant performance increases with the upgrade from 8800GTX to 280GTX. Upgrading a PSU and GPU is much less of a hassle than installing a new mobo.
Go with 2 x Asus 260 Top if you don't want to spend too much money. For PSUs, I would recommend Corsair, based on what I've read in reviews although my Coolermaster 1000w has no problems with a 280GTX SLI setup.

I didn't buy anything, but I moved $10k from my line of credit to my bank account because I'm going to buy a car. Not to worried about debt because I'm pretty sure I'll be dead within the year.

Come to the US and marry me so that I can buy life insurance for you.

If you're going to die anyways then what good is a car to you? You should just give me the money and save you're self the year.
