Ok here is the problem. I'm looking for high-end parts for my pc because I hate my current mobo and stuff. But it's hard to decide which one of the following systems I'm gonna get after summer.

1st
cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2,67Ghz  1333FSB            200€
cpu cooler: Zalman CNPS9700NT                                  58€
mobo: EVGA nForce 680i SLI                                       250€
ram: 2x 1Gb OCZ PC-8500 1066mhz SLI EDITION  2x112,5€
psu: thermaltake toughpower 1000w                            269€
                                                                              =1000€
or

2nd
cpu: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2,67Ghz  1333FSB            200€
cpu cooler: Zalman CNPS9700NT                                  58€

ram: 2x 1Gb DDR3 1066mhz                               (250-400)€?
psu: thermaltake toughpower 1000w                            269€
                                                                              =1000-1200€?

hard to decide between cheap and good DDR2 and future proof DDR3 (eeeks what latencies and price!) which is coming after summer

You'd even have to wait a little for the E6750 anyway... Also, get some REAL Cou-cooler Zalman provides neat quality, but not the best cooling performances. This Thermalright Ultra-120 together with a manually adjustable fan (from quiet to ultimate power) like this Silverstone fan outperforms the Zalman. Really.

fyi: nothing is future proof ... rather "future resistant"
