Realistically i won't be building a new system or upgrading for sometime to come as i'm going abroad for 6 months.
I'm currently using a laptop which is more than powerful enough for applications, coding e.t.c - and i've got 4xPentium 4 3.0Ghz 800Fsb 1MB Cache 256MB DDR2 (only used by me

) so i think i've got enough for the mean time
When i get back (in september, if i some how get some cash - very unlikely i'll build myself a similiar system to what i had - basically what BigB has listed).
AMD64 3200+
Nforce 4 Mobo
512MB/1GB Dual Channel 2-2-2-5 1T memory
raid set of 80Gb drives
6600GT
I'm almost certain that i won't have a system like this in 7-9 months time, as i wont be working - i'll be back at College and i've got a car to run and bills to pay
