Quote:Just off the top of my head without check out the links you provided, just make sure that motherboard will accept a dual-core proccessor, the video card is SLI, and that the chasis, er case your purchasing will be big enough for the video card and motherboard your getting. Also, have you considered a RAID 10 configuration since your getting a SATA drive and a nice motherboard? You might want to invest into this in the future to prevent disk corruption and help dramatically increase the performance of your system; it requires a total of 4-sata drive of same sized partition. The 2-gigs of ram is a great idea. Seems you can upgrade to 4, but thats overkill now. You might need that much if you get the newest Windows, but not for gaming - not yet at least. It's good you leave your options open though.
With all this nice stuff, what are you using for sound? Seems like a great possible gaming machine, but if your using dinky headphones, kind of kills it, dosen't it? Just my 2-cents.
The next computer I build is going to be tricked out ala 2-Fast 2-Furious with neon lights on the chasis and cables. I know, I'm such a nerd when it comes to this...
He has a nice Terratec sound card that he's moving over. I forgot to mention that. :P
Edit- Oh, you meant speakers, not sound cards. His Terratec cards allows him to go through stereo speakers, I think, plus he has a set of computer speakers when the stereo isn't available. He's a DJ, so sound equiment is all up to him.
You're right that the vid card itself might not be SLI. I'll check that.
Why can't we all just get along
