any suggestion? don't suggest any NV graphic cards because those Fermi are an epic fail for me, GTX480 its round 6-10% more efficient compare to HD5870 and 5970 its a beast :cool:. I want a six core processor because im looking foward in future to i wouldnt have to upgrade it. Maybe i'll when a bulldozer come out becuase its gonna be a a real beast - hopefully. That rig will be connected to hd 32inches TV and im thinking to buy at least 24inch hd lcd monitor in not far future to i can mount it on the wall :p Why i chosen so powerful speakers? Ive got x530 right now but they a bit too weak for me and i'm a bit freaky about a good sound system this time with an optical output. Why not an Blu-Ray disc driver ? dont really needed ive got ps3. Why buying so much powerful PC? if i buy something i try to get the best what i can afford. Why 3 hard drives? 1 for windows and a second one its for linux and the last one for backups . I tried to explain everything in clear sentences. I'll be using this PC for multimedia, games, OC, video editing and play with some graphic programs such as cs's and others :)

System sound will be connected to the tv through optical cable then pc will be connected to the same tv through HDMI cable plus in a soon future I'll connect a 24inch benq full hd monitor through hdmi cable if I'll find a hdmi cable which is about 6meters long so according to your question no i wont need it but my question is what if i'll want to watch tv on a tv and listen to a music using a monitor and it will be connected to pc through hdmi cable, hnmm... thats a good question what i'll get?

Top quality PC you've put together there, and the setup you described using HDMI and optical out is spot on. No need for a soundcard, the onboard will be just fine.

My only question is, you haven't ordered an operating system? Do you have a full retail copy/volume license to install yourself? Check the rules around licensing before ordering: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/includes/microsoft/licensing.html
