Okay, so would it be smarter to do the boosting of the video cards, memory, and window tweaking later? It saves me money on not doing that stuff now I guess which is always a good thing.

the OC of the gpu we can do ourselves, we can show you how that is very easy and nothing like cpu OC.

with dual 260+ you won't need any OC on the gpu anyways but if the need arrives, we are here

the tweaking of the window I/we can help you tweak it however you like

notice I also changed your psu and one of your dvd drives was just a reader, I changed it to a RW.

Is getting duel 280's better than getting duel 260's for video cards? Is it all just a matter of cost and if you have the money to get it, or will you be getting allot more out of the 280's instead the 260's?

I see, okay. Cause I was just thinking that for certain games, if it really depends on the types of video cards you have, if I might not be able to run certain games, or does that have anything to do with processing speed?

The difference between the 260 core 216 and the 280 is like 1-3 fps in most games.

Plus if you overclock them even a little they'll surpass the 280s.
