Thanks for your thoughts. I ordered my Dell online about a week or so back.
Intel Core i7 920 (2.66Ghz 8MB Cache, 4.8GT/sec) 8GB 1067Mhz DDR3 Tri Channel memory 750GB Serial ATA (7200rpm) Hard Drive, 512MB ATI Radeon HD4850 Graphics card with Vista Ultimate 64bit as the OS.
I wouldn't attempt overclocking the i7 I want it to last a while rather than burn itself up prematurely besides with the new architecture you lose the FSB which was always the bottleneck for processing speed.
I'm looking forward to taking delivery of the new PC soon and will update this thread with my impressions of the system when I've had it running for a couple of days.
