HOLY SH*T! ARE YOU CRAZY!?

ok anways...

hmm... 2 7800gtx?

AMD fx60 maybe? It has dual core but I've read reviews on how it yielded less performance than the higher clocked fx57 when it comes to gaming.

An insane psu that can handle everything

at least 2 gigs of good low lat ram.

Harddrive would be up to you, obviously budget isn't a problem so this should be a big deal.

ARe you planning to OC? I would assume this is for gaming, and what country do you live in? (so we know what currency to use)

2 GB's ONLY?? Are you crazy...lol, go for 4 gigs. As for the comp it seems like a excellent set-up. O, and since your client is so rich..id suggest buying a 32" Samsung LCD HDTV and using it as a primary computer monitor.

Yeah, might as well max out the mobo with 4G ;)

With the HD's, I'd go with two SATA drives. Hell why not duel 500G :D Or quad 74G Raptors?? You'd loose some storage but imagine that speed!

Hey, dumb question but does this client mind about noise? Why not load some nice coolers on the video cards, something other than stock on the processor, chipset, etc...

and for HDD how about the new 15000 rpm drives by hitachi, and 2 or 1 500gb seagate...
also wat about the case?? how about this...http://www.xoxide.com/zalman6.html

if he/she can then wait till the new socket AM2 comes out..
