I am in the process of trying to put together my own comp for the first time. I will list the parts I have come up with so far. I have been able to decide what graphics cards though to run. It will be running Vista Ultimate 64. Dont know if this matter but the monitor will be a 42" philips hd lcd. All comments on what I have chosen is needed. I do want to have to upgrade or replace anything for some time. I also did know if I should just go the i7 route. So heres what I have so far.

This is all from newegg.com I have a few thousand to spend and want the biggest bang for my buck of course and the best for longevity in parts as far as needing upgrading. Feel free to ask any other questions you need to know.
Also need sugestions for a wifi card and a ethernet card... Should I get a sound card or use the on board one? If anyone notices anything I may have missed please let me know.
