Hey everyone,

I am thinking of building a new computer and I need some suggestions. This computer will be used for Video / Sound editing (Vegas and SoundForge), programming (dreamweaver and vb), tv watching/recording (hardware encoding), storage, and normal stuff (internet, work, mail, etc). This will NOT be used for gaming.

Here is what I was thinking. Dont flame but suggestions are welcome. Price is currently no object (im still thinking).

Case: Koolance PC2-601BW Water-Cooled Case w/ CPU-300-H06 & GPU-180-L06 Blocks
Power Supply: Vantec VAN-520A 520W Black Aluminum Power Supply
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.4GHz Extreme Edition (Power baby)
Motherboard: Abit IC7-MAX3
Hard Drives: (2) WD Raptor 74GB & (2) Seagate Barracuda 200GB (main & storage)
Memory: (2) Corsair XMS Series TWINX1024-3200XLPRO 1GB DDR PC-3200 (2GB Total)
Video Card: BFG Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra OC (hope I can find)
Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro
TV Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 (tv watching and recording - will use BeyondTV)
DVD/CDRW: Sony 16X DVD / 52X CDRW Combo Drive
DVDRW: Sony DRU-710A 16X Double Layer DVD Recorder
Floppy: Samsung 1.44MB Floppy Drive
Card Reader: In-Win CR-i500 7-In-1 USB Digital Card Reader/Writer
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech diNovo Media Desktop
Monitors: (2) ViewSonic VP201s 20.1" LCD Monitor (with Dual Display Stand)
Speakers: Logitech Z-680 5.1 THX Certified Speaker System
 
I like everything I see, except for the speakers. I'd get the Klipsch Ultra 5.1's instead of the 680's
 
Im going to use the Klipsh Ultra for a gaming pc. I know they are amazing speakers.
