Future Upgrades
Below you can see the currents specs of my computer. Sometime around the middle of December I'm planning a major upgrade for my computer. I've been looking at both the AM2 FX-62 and the Intel Duo 2 Core e6800 processors for a CPU. At the moment it seems like the Intel processor is the better way to go. Hopefully the price will come down somewhat in the next month and a half. I want to stay with a Crossfire setup for my motherboard. I'm sincerely hoping that the ATI RD600 chipset will arrive on more than one motherboard by Xmas. I've heard that DFI will definetely be coming out with a mainboard but as I plan not to do any overclocking, it does fit my plans. Now for the kind of memory that would best go with the two pieces of hardware that I've picked out, I have no idea. Memory for me has always been somewhat hard to decide on. Any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

U got a fine rig right now.I don't really see any reason to upgrade.But if u want to it ain't a bad set of specs.
U should get ddr2-800 ram with cas 4 and low voltages.Like corsair's or g.skill.G.Skill is a lot cheaper.But the RD600 does feature independant overclocking.(which means u can OC the front side bus alone while leaving the ram at default speed)But since u ain't overclocking,its ok.And if u are on a budget.DDR2-677 would be a good deal too.
Try this.

Why on Earth would you want to upgrade that system? I just don't get it.

You can prolly go another year with the same rig.There's really no reason.Maybe u'll need to swap out the gfx cards.And thats about it.

Thanks for your comments guys, I will take your suggestions into consideration. If you guys think I don't need to upgrade right now, maybe I just wait until the DX 10 gpus hit the market and purchase two of them for my computer. Thanks again for your help.
