I still don't get why you want to waste so much money [btw, from which country you are].

In December 2004 I bought computer for ~1100 euros. It was powerful beast, but for few months not any more. No matter how much money you spend, for 2-3 there will be new, faster and more powerful beast.

Better to spend 1500-1700 euros now, and then after 1 year upgrade your computer, and sell replaced components (at least that's how I do ).

Don't worry, I can make you beast.
