I'm not going to comment on specific components because I don't want to do your research for you.

But 2 general comments:
* Just get an i7 920, save yourself $800. Buying a brand new processor when it JUST comes out is retarded. You're flushing money down the toilet. Wait 3-5 months and the price will come down.

i7 920 = 4 cores @ 2.66 ghz, $200 (MicroCenter)
i7 975 = 6 cores @ 3.3 ghz, $970 (NewEgg)

Buy the first one, spend $50 on a nice cooler, overclock it, see similar results in processing power.

* All this money on a ridiculous PC and no SSD? Very, very sad.

im actually waiting till the first few weeks of april after they announce the i7 6core to buy the quad core

oh right, that 975 is only 4 cores. I was reading about the 975 6 core the other day.

Even more of a waste to spend the cash on it!
