Looking to buy a new computer in the $1600 range. I was hoping to get the new AMD processors, but they seem like a big disappointment.

The computer will be used for professional 3D work and massive amounts of BF3.

CPU: Intel Core i7 950 Quad Core
Cooling: Noctua NH-C12P Fan
MOBO: ASUS Sabertooth X58
RAM: 8GB (4x2GB) G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBECO
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6950
CASE: Corsair Graphite Series 600T
PSU: Corsair Professional Series HX1050

$1499 at NCIX.

Tips/ suggestions?
also sabertooth x58 ram is try channel. so u should get 2gb 2gb 2gb 2gb 2gb 2gb = 12gb.

i have a similar setup with a sabertooth, i7 960, gtx 460 and i built mine from scratch in april and it was 1000$ taxes included. with a 750 psu which was enough so unless u plan to get crossfire/sli i think 1050 is overkill?

why not sandybridge?
