this is a very nice post. i think this is the ideal specs for building a very powerful computer. thanks for sharing

these specs are actually quite noobish now since the time of your post, December 2008.  The Core i7 / X58 platform is finally here - that's where the real deal is!

p.s. check my sig. 

But for performance/value? Everything in a Core i7 rig is going to be quite expensive till they release the dual channel processors.

A possible way to solve this, tieing it in with some of the other suggestions I have been seeing would be selecting a comment type. I believe there is going to be a comment on article type feature added, if we could tag those comments as spelling/grammar fixes then it should be easy to scroll through those quickly and make all relevant corrections.

I was just wondering how you select the games you use. Obviously for the new GTX 295 card you would go for the ones that it works with but for the more established cards?
