I'm not sure yet when I will have the money to purchase the system but until then, I've decided to put my config of what I hope to be able to purchase. Whatever changes, improvements you can offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

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. Edited by DST4ME - 04 Dec 2008 at 3:03am |

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?

With two 260's you'll be able to run any game currently out there.

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

with dual 260+ GTX, you should not even really notice the difference

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