how many people u know do that?
99 percent of the computer using population doesn't even know what vms means.....
So ur saying for him to spend less money so you will have to fix what he bought?
I did not say he had to spend a fortune but, to spend it right.

no i did not say that. we almost said the same thing. but i think 5g's on a desktop is asinine especially considering what he is building it for.
Shit looks good for the most part. I'd drop the network card. It wont make that much difference for the price. I'd also change the case to an antec 1200(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043&Tpk=antec twelve). I own one and it keeps everything pretty cool. Also not a problem if you wather cool. You still have plenty of fans to cool the water.
I'm really sorry you feel that way about it fam. Like I said before, computers are my livelihood, and that's pretty much what I do to keep myself entertained and what not. I stay to myself alot these days because niggaz are so fulla shit!
I want a very nice computer that will last a good min., and I also wanna be prepared to handle some future demanding tasks. I know 5g's is a lot of money but it's not a big concern or worry for me. I got it like that and I'm going to spend it...I'm worth it man!
All of this hardware just to play a stupid video game ???
Damn homie it's not that serious !!!
Well hey at least he's doing his part to stimulate the economy... LOL
lol. just buy a xbox 360, ps3, and be done with it..... no?
I was gonna say the same thing. In fact, of that remaining one percent, probably 99 percent of those folks will never use more than one. Now as for me, I use AT LEAST one VMS 99 percent of the time. But that is certainly not the norm.
I also think 5g is a lot for a system as the technology changes so rapidly. Thus, I tend to buy primarily for today. I do not seek a system that will last for years to come as we never really know what future improvements await. But as long as the OP understand that, then I say: "Enjoy!"
whats vms and what do u do with it?
Good question.....The only commercial OS I know that might even be approaching is OSX and thats only if the app. is coded to do so.....
Thats the problem with a lot of these super systems especially on the PC side...if you ain't writing the programs and are real good at it ...you are really wasting time and money...it's nice to look at though
To the op
after reviewing your system there are a lot of items I'd like to point out to you,
1) why the extreme processor when you can get the 17 920 & Bump it to the extreme's speed or even higher?
2) the 12gb of Ram is lovely but not really necessary you can go with 6GB of DDR3 1600 Mhz especially if you're going to be doing video editing etc.
3) I would suggest a better case/ Power Supply, you can check out Lian Li cases they ususally have better airflow as for the power supply you can get a Corsair 1000 watt Power Supply that gives that actual dedicated power.
4) If you use the a fore mentioned configurations you can upgrade to an SSD drive probably a 160-240 GB drive & keep the 1.5TB for your backup that will definitely speed up your boot/load times significantly.
5) The network card is ideal for playing 'high intensity' games such as FPS, the sound card is ideal as well as the optical drives.
6)The monitor is not the best have you considered using a 24'' or even a 28'' Display Port model, for the 24'' HP as well as Asus has a model that has all connectivity ports RE: Display Port, HDMI, as well as DVI, for the 28'' model Dell has an extremely good display that has all the output configurations as well.
7) The Nvidia GTX 295 is a good video card, i normally don't recommend dual video card setups cause they often don't work properly but with the recent 'gpu wars' going on between ATI & Nvidia you should consider the Geforce GTX 260 with 216 shaders x 2 (SLI) that should give a lot of performance per dollar ratio. Also Nvidia has really done a lot of work on their drivers so as a result you can use those 2 cards in a lot of games such as Farcry 2, Crysis, Call of Duty 5, Stalker etc. Oh before i forget Nvidia currently has a project called Cuda where they are using the power of the gpu to help with video processing as well as scientific research, so this should also help with your video encoding especially when you're using Adobe Premiere
8) The keyboard and mouse is ok, but i would've chosen a Razer Gaming Keyboard/Mouse combo
9) I can recommend a very good boutique computer company to you
that specializes in building customized computers, i'm certain that you can get a good deal for a lot less they are www.maingear.com. their designs have won a lot of awards you can check out www.hardocp.com for a full review on a system that they reviewed from them, and their attention to detail as well as customer service is really good.
Hope this helps

Voyuer is correct. You need to add a cooling system for that build. A high end system require water cooling. I would suggest a The Swiftech Apogee™ GTZ CPU cooler .
with a DangerDen or Swifttech Pump . Next the Chipset cooling and VGA card cooler.
Check out Koolance, Swifttech and DangerDen cause the Core7 Extreme requires good cooling.
I'm finishing a Build from scratch now.
I do this all the time so if you need help just PM me
Peace..

Sorry, that was a typo on my part as I was up very late. I should have used the singular VM (virtual machine) as I was referring to only one.
Code:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Virtual_PC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallels_Workstation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMwareVMS is also the name of an operating system used on the old Digital VAX and Alpha systems (first OS I ever learned).
