Yeah, I agree with you at all, for sure, it's crazy using SLI with that video card. Anyway I'll never spend all those â?¬ for a pc, *dreaming*
I think i'll buy only Intel E6600 - radeon x1900gt or nvidia 7950 gx2- MSI P965 platinum Motherboard, for all other things i'm using what i have now. I have to save moneys for all my traffic violations :P
Ps:
Really nice case, I think you won't have noise problems :D

Yup Newegg rocks. Unfortunately they don't even ship to Canada, but fortunately enough my friends father drives to Champlain New York everyday, so I get stuffed shipped there. I save on taxes to boot hehe.
You can easily overclock an E6600 to high clock rates, of course assuming you have a good motherboard also. All you need is a good heat sink fan combo. Thermalright makes amazing heat sinks. this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109122) one is quite the beast. You won't have any problems going way over 3ghz with this and a good 12cm fan. It's tough to get a feeling for the size of these heat sinks, but trust me that are HUGE, so make sure you have the space for one.

Really thanks for the tip, I'm sure I'll follow your way. What do you think is the the best motherboard to do a great overclock to E6600?
nvidia 7950

Always good to get the previous generation video card. The newest ones are always overpriced. Wait for the 9000 nVidias before buying a 8000 series.
Also, is Newegg any relation to Egghead which was a software/hardware store that closed all its locations and turned into an internet-only store?

Well the new 680i chipset is supposedly a very good overclocker. The Striker board I linked to above is the best but expensive. The eVGA (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188009) model has more attractive pricing.

Quick search of newegg on wikipedia shows:
"Despite frequent consumer confusion, Newegg has no connection with the former Egghead.com (a brand now owned by Amazon.com)"
EDIT: A tip for overclocking, get SLI/EPP memory sticks. These sticks will automatically adjust themselves for the best possible performance when used with nForce chipset. Corsair invented EPP, so you won't have a problem with that memory.
