I seriously doubt that you need the Intel Core2 Duo OC X6800EE processor. As a gamer I would advise you to save some money on the processor and opt for a better graphics card (8800 GTX).
And, as a rule, always go for ONE good card instead of TWO worse cards in a crossfire/SLI setup!
DDR3 won't make it through. too expensive and uncompatible.
stick to DDR2 and if possible in dualchannel mode.
let's say 4 ram slots, 4 1GB ram modules, resulting in 4GB DualChannel mode! try to get ur hands on OCZ or GEiL!
ofc Corsair is also kickass. so if you like paying the name, go ahead :P ..
get urself a 8800gtx ultra or something. or one of these new kickass ati cards ..
or yea, 2 8800gts with each 640mb in sli mode.. you'd have prolly slight more power..
a decent motherboard with nforce xxx chipset and ofc no fuckin intel crap!..
don't believe the hype!
if possible, get an amd barcelona or even the bigger one of the new amd cpu's ..
and if you're into 7.1 surround audio, via digital (optical / coax) then don't get a creative x-fi .. but if you're using a surround headphone or stick to an analog surround system, then go ahead and get urself a x-fi fatal1ty xtreme gamer card.
otherwise get an auzentech x-fi prelude, which will be released this month..
and maybe a second one in some weeks

It was the same story with DDR2, so just wait.
It's allways like that with a new product.
