$3000 is quite a lot of money, are you intending to use this computer for a long time? There's really no such thing as future proofing because technology just changes so quickly. I suggest saving some of that money and when the time comes where a new hardware has been released, you can upgrade that hardware only.
An example, there was a video card that was release around November 2007 which is about the best one at that time, and now 4-5 months later, that video card has been replaced by a better one with the same price as the November card. And new generations of video cards are coming out again.
Anyways, will you be needing a keyboard, mouse and monitor? Here's what I suggest then:

You can get a better processor, a larger size hard drive (or more hard drives ) or go with 2 9800GTX if you really want to spend all that money.
Computer case is a personal preference, find one that you like and make sure its big enough for SLI (if you intend to do SLI).
Hope that helps,
Kamille
The 45-nm ones are the best especially for overclocking, you can get either of the processors below.Hey, Thanks for a list. Now are you sure this is all good for that amount of money? and yes I would be interested in a new keyboard and mouse ill look for the monitors myself because im going dual. What do you think would be the best processor? one of the newest ones or one of the lower versions?
