Looks good man, I would go with Corsiar XMS Series Ram though, a bit better than value.

2gb ram is plenty for awhile and you can alway buy more later if need warrants it. Corsair value select is fine if you don't plan to overclock.
You could upgrade to the 7800 gtx 512 mb but its way over $500.00. The 7800 gtx 256mb should be plenty and down the road, if you need to upgrade, just thrown in another 7800 gtx for SLi. That will extend the life of the system to 5 years at the least. Especially since most of the newest games don't support SLi yet. Unless you are a fanatic (I know a few that are and spend some serious $$$ on their sound) about your sound the ACL850 on the mobo should be fine. Ultimately I'd pocket the extra $500.00 for a rainy day. Last edited by gtucker329; 12-11-2005 at 04:09 PM. |

Looks good, I'd leave it as it is and pocket the $500 you received. As for a monitor, I'd second the motion for the Samsung 940B. I bought one about three weeks ago and it is absolutely outstanding. I game a lot, and there is no ghosting with this monitor at all. The response time is great, controls are simple, 3 year warranty and no dead pixels. Pretty tough to beat at the price, and Newegg has been running some killer specials on it lately.

This is the best gaming video card right now. Look...this isn't instant messaging, it's a bulletin board and you can't expect responses right after you post something. You just gotta wait till someone responds. Learn to use the Edit button to add to your previous posts...don't keep making new posts one after the other just a few minutes apart. And take some time to read the forum rules. Cricket

Both video cards must be identical for SLI. Those are two different video cards.

Full list of all SLI certified video cards, motherboards and power supplies is at this link. Also a lot of other SLI information on that site. The one Cricket linKed is the best available now. 1 of those should be fine for now and in a year or two when games need more video card you could add another one, and it will probably be considerably cheaper than it is now.
You will need an SLI certified PSU off that list. The Antec Truepower TP II 550 watt would be a good choice.
