Ok after taking in alot of info and advice from many diffient forums and reviews, here is what I got so far
Processor - Duo Core E6600 $315
Graphic Cards - two 7900 GS in SLI $200 each
seems like a good deal $400 for two cards with lower noise/power and abit lower then the highend $500-600 cards http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q3/geforce-7900gs/index.x?pg=8 10 page review and charts of it.
Hard Drive - I believe two Seagate Barracuda hard drives would be good $80 each
Capacity 250GB
RPM 7200 RPM
Cache 16MB
Average Latency 4.16ms
Heatsink - Will go with the Scythe for heatsink since its recommended so highly, $40
Memory Same thing still corsair 2 GB $240 after $40 rebate.
Motherboard - I am thinking of Asus P5B since I'v recommended it, but reading reviews of it if I want it to work with a duo core E6600 I need to change the bios for it to reconize the duo core... so if I want that motherboard I need to learn how to change the bios, $200
Computer Case - Still going to go with the Lian Li I think ($180), but been reading reviews saying how good wood computer cases are, and you could build a entire desk to fit the computer inside or just a case, costs $300-400 to buy one but if you make it yourself can do it for $100-150 and extra for tools... I think in a couple of years I might try building a wooden case but for now a normal case will do.

Heat Pipe - Thermaltake CL-P0200 Silent 939 K8 - AMD K8 solution w/ Heatpipe Cooling Tech $30 seems useful and cheap to help keep temps down.
Power Supply - The top two am trying to decide between this OCZ PSU 700W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817341002
This Seasonic M12 700W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151031
And this PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817703006
All recommended as good power supplys and good for gaming got good reviews and seen a review for one in a magazine, mainly aiming for something strong, silent and that will last me for a long time. $150-200

Zip Drive, haven't done any research about it
I haven't done much research on the CD/DVD drives, tell me if you think they will work or if you got a model you would recommend.
Total of ALL that $2115 without shipping or extras.
I -think- thats everything I should need, am going to use the monitor/speakers from my old computer.
Tell me if I missed anything or if there is anything you would recommend as a improvement over anything there.
Appreciate the help.
