I hope you have fun picking out better parts for me... (I made this list at the beginning of november so parts may be cheaper than listed)

What I need?

Motherboard (i7 please)
Case (Probably use the one I pick out)
Processor (i7 please)
GFX card (I have been looking at GTX 280)
HDD (About a terabyte, perhaps 2x 500gb)
Blu Ray drive (Writer but nothing to special
Secondary optical drive? (If cost is low, just something like lightscribe)
Audio card? (If cost is low, 5.1)
Speaker set (5.1)
RAM (DDR3, make sure it is i7 compatible)
Keyboard and mouse (Probably use the one I pick, needs 2.4 frequency)
Cheap copy of Vista Home premium
TV card (Probs Haupauge WinTV-HVR-3000)
Remote if not getting keyboard that I suggest
PSU, preferably quiet but not to bothered 750w>?
Wireless adapter (N1)

And what's the machine going to be used for? General home use, video editing, gaming? Pretty sure it's the first core i7 computer though on HxF, and I'm pretty sure within that budget you can be more adventurous but good choice so far.

Some of those parts are total overkill imo. But whatever, it's your money.

To be honest i'd wait til next feb time, markets going to hit the floor.

General use, gaming such as GTA IV ,Crysis, source games

Agreeing with this, also Phenom II will be out so we can see how that goes.

Thats right, Phenoms are due aren't they? The market is going to flop so just wait.

As said, you'd be stupid to buy now. Core i7 isn't even that great IMO

Just get an OC'd Gtx 260, no need for a gtx 280
