For the geeks & other interested people.
I just upgraded my computer (technically I bought a new computer since the only thing left from the old one is the chassi, the power supply and a few harddrives), so here's my new configuration :)
Asus P8H67 Motherboard (SATA3(?), USB3, max 32Gb ram)
Inte Core i5 Gen. 2 - i5-2400 (3100MHz quadcore)
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 (4 x 2Gb sticks)
Asus Radeon EAH5770 CUCore 1Gb (400MHz clockspeed, 1x HDMI/DVI/VGA)
Corsair Solid State Drive Force 90 (90Gb)
Except this I got 3 other HDD's with various space and a BD/DVD-R player

I love the i5 quads. I have an i5 750 which i opted for over a higher end i7.

Ooooh a SSD, how is that working out for you? Did you install your operating system on there for faster boot up, or did you put other things on there?
Right now, since the space is so minimum, I always recommend (because it's just cheaper then buying a 1TB SSD) to just put core system files on a SSD. Using it for gaming won't generally improve your performance except for load up times (which for MMORPGs, isn't the core place you're getting your data from, anyway).
I always like Intel for their speed in their newer CPUs, but I'll always be an AMD fan-boy. But, on the flip side, I like NVIDIA over any ATI card, mostly due to their open drivers for Linux.

TheOneAndOnly: Yea, Im currently using it for the system. So far (after BIOS) it boots into windows in less than 7 seconds and quits within 3, unless I have installed an update :P
I heard from another store that corsair SSD aren't one of the better ones, but they beat HDD's. Also he said that SSD degrades quicker, but I usually buy new parts each other year
TheOne and Whispering: ATI/AMD might be dicks about drivers, but I considered being able to connect cables to the computer without ReBooting takes priority :P So far Crysis 1, Settlers 7 and Dragon Age doesnt lag on higher settings.
Darren: I dont know what sandybridge is :P
