O.P. Time for a new computer :D
Well its time for me to upgrade my computer, and I would like the opinions of the sexy forum members about the specs I have chosen.
My budget was $2000AUD, and Ive come in at $1950 which is nice.
Without further ado, here are the specs:
Mobo - Asus P6T
Ram - 6gb Kit (3x2gb) DDR3 1333 G.Skill-NQ
HDD - 1TB W.D SATA
GFX card - 1GB Gigabyte GTX 285
Processor - Intel Core i7 920
Optical Drive - Pioneer 218 Dual Layer DVDRW
Case - Coolermaster Elite 330
PSU - Antec EarthWatts 750 Watts
LCD - 20" LG WS DVI 5ms W2043T-PF
Opinions...GO!
edit: oh and ill be putting on the latest 64 bit RC of Windows 7 as the os. I will also have the following items with the comp, taken from my current comp.
Second monitor: 24" WS Dell LCD
Sound system: Creative Inspire T1600 5.1
Keyboard: Logitech Wave corded
Mouse: Logitech VX Revolution
TV Tuner: Leadtek USB Dongle Gold

RE: Time for a new computer :D
Why 6gb DDR3 ram? tbh 4gb DDR3 ram for would be fine. As for everything else looks like a pretty good setup, especially the gfx card

because DDR3 is triple channel. you buy ram in sets of 3 equal sticks, not 2.

RE: Time for a new computer :D
Are you sure you're going to be using that much power or is this one of those "I've got to have the most powerful box I can get" kinda things cause trust me, I've done that.. but I've realized its better to just get something you need rather than trying to max out everything 
Spending all that much just doesn't seem logical to me.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes, it seems like a good rig to me. I'd invest in a BD drive if its cheap and you plan to use this PC for 4 years or so with no additions. Or you you just get it in a couple of years when it becomes main stream [

it would still make much more sense to get 3GB than 4GB in that case Spoiler: the game.
