No offense Paulie, that PSU looks a little weak on the 12v rail side of things for a 650W.

Yeah, to each his own as well. I hate these kinds of threads, they can turn into such a big flamewar. Either one is nice.
Really, 3991, I'd nix the whole 775 build and work on a Nehalem(think thats how its spelled). EDIT: I cant really comment on the 2900XT's, but they are a power hungry card. |

I like that you are seeing past the quad recommendations. A faster dual core is better than a slower quad for gaming.
I also have to agree against the dual budget vid cards. Spring for a better single card and upgrade to SLI with another in the future. Going SLI with budget is like shooting yourself in the foot twice and being stuck with it. |

Did a quick scan, didn't see this posted...I may have missed it...but after MIR's, you can have 2 Palit 9600GT 512's for about $220...talk about a bang-for-the-buck SLI setup! Fairly decent cooling, from what I've read these are pretty good cards, plus the price is just kickass!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814261002 149.99 - 40 MIR. Pretty sweet deal, good till the 30th too! I think you can only have one MIR per name/household, but have a buddy order one for ya and you're good to go!

Get a 750i SLI board such as ASUS P5N-T or MSI P7N SLI Platinum. SAVE upto $110. Get a single 9800 GTX instead of the two 8800 GS ! Get a Q9300 instead of the E6850. There's a price slash. And you'll not end up spending more than your budget. |
