eVGA Geforce 7800GTX, is evga a good card?

i have the rest of the components, but do i need an aftermarket cpu fan/heatsink or is the retail fine?

everything looks good but if you want the best processor, you should take a look at the fx60

If you are going to spend that kind of money for a power supply - and think you will ever add a 2nd video card for SLI - get a SLI-certified power supply now. That one isn't.

Yea man, they came out with an FX-60. Its pretty expensive though. Id love to meet someone with it to tell me how it is.

That is a beast! ^^

The FX-60 has lower frame rates than the FX-57 :(. But the multitasking is quite better.

i cant find any 512mb models of that card.:confused: it seems that the tide is turning against nvidia. its not producing any promised 512mb 7800GTX's or the new 7900GTX. meanwhile ATI is beating them in benchmarks.
