Hey Everyone,
I know, I know. Another build thread. Just looking for peeps to help me out to ensure I'm not making any basic mistakes.
Disclaimer: I've never built an Intel system and this is an Intel system.
Budget:
Nothing concrete. Mostly looking for the best system that's a good deal (if this makes sense).

GPU(s):
Waiting here. Since BF3 is set for October, and rumors put AMDs 7000 series possibly in September, waiting probably doesn't hurt anything but supply of current cards. If we go current cards, Dual 6950s.
Notes:
This will not be overclocked.
We will be using the SSD Caching native to the Z68 chipset (there is probably a better SSD for this use.)
Components should preferably be black.
Looking for help on:
SSD for use with caching
CPU Cooler (anything big, black & silent?)
Comments are welcome. I'm well versed in AMD systems and Intel seems pretty straightforward but better safe than sorry, right?
