My Rig…

I am building a new desktop. Reasons:

1. I need something I can do ANYTHING on.

2. I want to play top of the line games.

There are some things i demand this desktop to do:

1. Be reliable

2. Not die for 4-5 years

3. Be able to run anything I want for as little cost as possible.

4. Be easy to upgrade.

So far I have this rig setup:

ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

or

GIGABYTE GA-EX38-DQ6 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor:

Sound card:

So, as you can see I need help defining my rig setup. E-mail me your thoughts or post here on comments.
