I have a budget to buy a new developer machine at work. And this is it for the moment. I have no need for keyboard or software. Just some new fast hardware. I can keep the old one for testing.

This seems about right and within budget (just). So what do you think Are there any better or other stuff I should buy. In short I will have a quadcore with 8 GB DDR3 and 2 SSD's (one for OS one for source) with one velociraptor for storage. And 2 vidcards to be able to connect 3 monitors. 2 22" monitors and my old 19" monitor.
