How much will this cost?

[Monkey_Business]

I am building a new PC, and recently discovered I might be able to spend close to, or perhaps a tad bit over $2,000 on a new system. I was building AMD to keep the price down, but I might be able to pull of an Intel i7 machine. How much will this cost? Minus the cost of the case, because I already own it.

It's one thing to ask us for advice at a given price, but when you already have the parts picked out...

Use Google Shopping, PriceGrabber or PriceWatch to find prices.
You can use ResellerRatings to determine the reputation quality of the vendors.

After you find the lowest prices (from reputable vendors), add up the individual prices and the total will be "how much it cost".

I heard that the Phenom II X4 965 BE is only about 1/3 as fast as a Core i7 @ any clock speed.

LGA 1366 uses triple channel memory so you need a 6GB kit instead of four.

You could also save some money and go with the i7 930.

The X58 chipset also supports dual channel mode for two DIMMs.
