So you think 2gb is enough for today in this pc - and one raptor drive for the main.?

there is really no way we can know this from the information given from you this far. it all depends on what you are doing and so far all you have given up is hardware configs with no mention of what the macines use is.

Bad advice. X6800 is 10% faster than 6700. Quad SLI could easily be 75% faster in GPU-intensive future games.

The best choice would be E6700 + 7950GX2 + single raptor + 2GB's unless there is some amount of money you need to spend. In that case, I would get 2 more GB's.

I'm assuming you want an extreme-performance gaming rig.

Get Quad-SLI if you are also buying that 30" LCD. Or if you think you can really use those nifty SLI-AA modes at a lower res (like 1920x1200).
Anything less than that and Quad-SLI actually performs slower (in some benches) than regular SLI.

May I suggest the E6700 and a single 7950GX2? It would be mighty hard for you to be disappointed with what this combination can give you in terms of performance.

$380 to go from a single 7950GX2 to dual-7950GX2 does sound like a deal, if you can actually utilise the power with a 24"+ display and like SLI-AA.
$186 to go from 2GB to 4GB also sounds pretty good. Will come in handy for a future OS upgrade, I think. But for now, you prob don't need it.
$310 to go from an E6700 to an X6800 doesn't sound that good a deal for the benefits.

Just my humble opinion.
