Hey everyone, I've been thinking about upgrading my desktop. Right now I have -
Intel Core 2 duo E6600
Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
evga 7950 GX2
2x WD raptor 75 gig RAID0
2 gig Corsair memory
I'd like to upgrade to an Intel Quad core CPU like this

but I'm open to suggestions.
I'd like to upgrade to 4 gigs of RAM but I have no idea what brand to go for, so I'm looking for suggestions. And I'd like to pick up a second 7950 GX2 (been seeing them for about $125) I know they're getting dated and all but oh well, $125 to go from a 512 card to 2 gig quad SLI? Sounds good . If I run quad SLI with them would I be able to use both monitors still (as opposed to the single GX2 in SLI knocking out my second monitor)? And would I see much of a performance upgrade?
I also plan on using the old RAM and CPU for a HTPC (with MythTV) so if someone could suggest parts/brands (micro ATX mobo and a cheap video card with HDMI) for one that'd be great. Or if someone is pretty savvy with MythTV let me know, I've got a ton of questions
