I can think of more reasons. Database, compiling, file compression, parity calculations, ...

CapnNismo: on the dual/quad question - what will you be doing with the PC?

(though, personally, I would go quad, even i7, just because you want to jump on the Win7 bandwagon early)

Gaming will be about the max the computer will be put through. I may even get an HD 4870 512MB. I'd like to wait and see what prices are later, though. This is all just killing time, but planning for something in the fall.

In that case, go dual.

As max said, atm, dual gives best price/performance for gaming.

And by the time you absolutely need quad for gaming you should be able to pick up a decent one very cheaply.

Not just Switzerland. Austria has pretty much every cable buried, too.

I've just gone and done another dream build:
ASUS P5Q
E8400 (I don't want to overclock)
Cooler Master Mystique Case
OCZ Fatality 700W PSU (suggest me an alternative for this setup, I think 700W may be overkill)
ASUS HD 4870 1GB
OCZ Flex 2GB RAM (2x1GB)
2 Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB (that might and possibly will change to a 750GB or a 500GB and just run my current as an external for backups)
LG 22x DVD Burner
Freezer 7 Pro CPU cooler

With a Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 OS, that all rings up to $1358.89. Not including the current instant rebates, about $1400. That's just shy of €1000. Now I have to decide what to buy in America in the summer to save some money ... The case will prolly stay behind and I'll have to buy a monitor here. Maybe an HDD, too. Ugh. I wish I was rich like Max.
Yeah, get the Corsair HX520. My OCZ PSU blew big time ( 900W GameXtreem ) and I wont go back to it. I have the HX520 and it's great, as well as it's modular. Non-modular PSUs are fail, tbh.

If your after a new PSU, then might i recommend the Aurora 750W? Will allow standard SLi as well as the newer GX2 configurations, oh and is modular too.

I run my GX2 off a tiny little 400W PSU
