got my current system in 2004, an AMD 3400+, gig of ram and Geforce 6800 GT.
It's handled me well over the years but now it's time for a new baby.
I'm looking at this:
ASUS P5N-Delux 775 ATX M/Board
nVidia nForce 750i SLI Chipset
2 X PCI-E 2.0 16x Graphics- SLI
2PCI Slots, 1PCI Express 1x Slots
4 X Dual ChDDR2-800Mhz Dimms
IDE & 6 X Sata2 ( Raid )
Integrated Gigabit( 1000 ) Lan
Integrated 8 Ch Sound - S/Pdif out
Integrated Firewire, E-Sata
Aerocool Zero Degree ATX Tower Case
Front USB-2, Audio, Aluminum Front Bezel
1x 12 Cm & 1 x 25Cm Case Fans,
UV active acrylic side panel
Coolermaster Extreme Power 550Watt Power Supply
12V Dual Rails, Super Quiet
Overclocked Intel Quadro Q6600 CPU - 2.4 Ghz Quad
Overclocked to 3.0GHz
8Mb L2 Cache, 1066Mhz ( OC 1333Mhz ) FSB, 64 Bit
Coolermaster Hyper TX-2 CPU Cooler
4Gb DDR2-800 Mhz Ram ( 2 X 2Gb Dimms )
500GB Seagate Sata2 Hard Drive, 7200Rpm, 32MB Cache
Sapphire HD4870 512Mb, 256Bit PCI-E 2.0 16x Card
3600 Mhz DDR-5 Memory, 750Mhz Core
800 stream processors
( Pixel Shader Engine + Vertex Shaders)
Direct X 10.1 compliant, Shader Model 4, HDMI
How do you rate it would fare? I mainly use my system for video editing and audio work (music production/sound to film etc) but am also quite a heavy gamer.
Over the years I've gotten used to playing games with AA and AF off at 1024X768, but with that sytem would I be able to play games at pretty much the highest detail settings albeit the same resolution?
Is the Geforce 280GTX a more worthwhile buy than the HD4870, or should I stick with the ATI?

hm.avoid intel q6600.you can find so better quad cpu's for a little more money.so definitly change the cpu.take some with 12mgb l2 cache,let`s say 9550 which can be easily overclocked to stable 3,82ghz.
ati 4780 is one of the fastest cards today,so you don`t have any needs for more,but if you do video editing you should take 2xGPU's.it will be absolutly enough for video editing and some extraordinary games that will out in 2009.
and try to find cooler master real power M620,cause this gpu then overclocked cpu and i supose tower case with lots of fans on them,you will need more power especially because gpu.4870 is eating power.
