I would go for the cheaper i7 950 3.0Ghz (save $620)
...and go with 24GB DDR3 Ram 1600Mhz

The video card selection is still questionable in my book...however other may argue this is not an issue with Win7 64bit platform...

...another option is to use the extra $620 from CPU choice to purchase Dual 24" High res LCD's ;)

Ok, so which video card do they offer that would not be questionable? I looked at the Inventor certified cards and none of the cards were listed.

I would go for the NVIDIA GTS 450...or order without a card (or the cheapest option) ...and buy a QuadroFX 4800 1.5GB for $1,200 else where online
