I just built a core i7950, 12gb of ram, and then a 10k raptor drive. Its super fast, capable of large mutli-tasking tasks (exporting multiple videos at the same time, while listening to music, while batching in photoshop, etc, without missing a beat).
If you are already at your peak of what you want to spend, id think to lower the CPU to a 965 or a 950. Then for sure get better harddrives, 2 15k sas striped, at a minimum get a 10k raptor if you can't go the SAS route. Also, consider changing your motherboard if it doesn't have onboard SAS and you don't want to go the controller route. Also i would jump to 12GB of ram w/ a better MHZ on them. Make sure to check the motherboard companies QVL list though before changing to better ram. And then make sure you have an OS version that supports the 12GB of ram.
