So ive decided to man up and im going to be building a pc mosty for gaming but also some multitasking tell me what you think.

cpu-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache(i plan on overclocking this).

motherboard- EVGA nforce 780i SLI

power supply- CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V

RAM- OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800. will eventually upgrade to 8GB RAM and maybe DDR3 but not for now.

OS- Windows vista home premium 64 bit

Fan-Getting a Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan

Case- APEVIA X-JUPITER G-Type model X-JUPITERG-BK

sound card- HT OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

graphics cards- 2 EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX

hard drive- Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB 7200 RPM Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

all of that adds up to about $1506. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

some 1 said that the 780i motherboard already has good intergrated sound so im guessing i dont need the sound card.

If you are building a machine to primarily be used for gaming...then yes, you do want a sound card.

Why is that?

When gaming, you are often 'pushing the envelope'. So you want to get the most out of your system as you can...this means using discrete components...video card to do all the video processing; a sound card to do the audio (also, a 'gaming' sound card often has more features than onboard).

Onboard, by nature shares system resources...some of the cheaper implementations actually use the CPU for audio processing! Sound cards, in general, especially gaming level cards, have actual hardware to handle all the processing and don't 'steal' from the rest of the system.
