I got my tax return today so I purchased all my components from Newegg:
ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920 - Retail
Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH080G1 80GB SATA Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail
OCZ 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3X1333LV6GK - Retail
VANTEC UGT-CR905 58-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader/Writer for 3.5” or 5.25” Drive Bay with Built-In USB Port - Retail
2 x Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
LITE-ON Black 6X Blu-Ray DVD ROM & 16X DVD±R DVD Burner SATA ModeliHES106-29 - OEM
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders - OEM
I decided to go ahead and do the solid state drive, selecting the Intel X25-M. It was expensive but it has received amazing reviews since it came out. Boot and load times are supposed to be outrageous. I bought an Antex 650W PSU and a cheap Antec case a couple of weeks ago when there was a nice combo deal.
