Wishlist for My Next PC Build

I’m in dire need of a new main system. My main desktop PC is a 3.0 Ghz single core Alienware Area 51 and it takes literally 10 minutes to boot. And sadly it just doesn’t have the horsepower to run the main apps I want to run now – mainly music production software and soft synths.

I’m currently eying the Intel Core i7 CPU’s, mainly the Core i7 920 which has gotten to a very reasonable price point (around $250-$280 street). I might actually be able to use my existing Alienware tower case, but that thing is just too huge. I’m leaning more towards a mid-tower case, probably the same one I bought for my Windows Home Server build. So without much further ado, here’s the current wishlist:
