Good PC choice for 1+ (maybe 2) years?

[Gameunreal]

Hey there.

I am currently in the market for a new gaming pc, and after much research and deliberation I think I have struck a balance between my burgdet (1000Euro) and performance.

Intel Quad Core q9550
Powercolor HD4870
P5Q Pro
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 800mhz
Nox Urano 600w SLI
500GB Samsung SATA-II 16mb-cache

..(nzxt Apollo box, Dvd-rw, cables etc..)

All that with a Asus VW222S 22" Widescreen.

How does this config sound to you?

Regards
Patrick

This is personal but i would go with a WD HDD (hard drive) but i have not gotten a samsung HDD before. but other wise it is good, but what is the price of this system? and try to go for buget stores so you have more money to buy later

My config has changed a little bit:

Intel Quad Core q9550
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Powercolor HD4870
P5Q Pro
2x2GB Corsair XMS2 800mhz
Corsair TX-650W
500GB Samsung SATA-II 16mb-cache
NZXT Apollo Black Chassis

(+DVD Burner and Cables)
All for 996.60Euro smile.gif [ 1402 U.S. dollars or 804 British pounds]

I don't really like Western Digital as I have had one of their HDDs before and it failed on me

Do you reckon that'll run FSX well? I will O/C the 9550 to 3.6GHZ or possibly 3.8

yes

I'd prefer the quad core as I won't be updating for quite a while and with teh new Intel NEHALEM chips coming out next year the dual core will slowly grow old.

I chose the 4870 for the extra 20% and since its a powercolor one they have a special fan(powercolor stripped out the stock cooler)

Do you reckon that my PSU is good enough for that hardware?
