now we got something we need to narrow down.

for best results(high settings) in games with that resolution you want 2 cards.

now 2 x 260 gtx are so close to 2 x 280 gtx that you wouldn't notice the difference.

so I went with 2 x 260 gtx.

here is the deal.

you can just go with one 260 GTX or one 280 GTX and add a card down the round if you feel you need the GPU, if this is the case just use my config and change GPU to 1 card.

also down the road drop a velociraptor in there ad your first HDD.

what do you think? and you check out the razer and know that is the card you want?

OK, if there is a sound card you want that is not listed, just call and asked them for it, they will use what ever part you like, heck you can get a sound card and install it yourself, I can walk you thru, its real easy.

if you need 2 CD/DVD drives then go for it.

yes you have another drive but your 320GB HDD is a 7200rpm, a velociraptor is a 10,000rpm and a faster drive.

so maybe you want to pick that right off the bat.

what do you think?

in that case like I said, add the veloci down the road, if you ever choose to, I will be more then happy to walk you thru that also.

so the veloci is not that big of a deal.

what do you think about the cards?

only way to be rich is to own your own business so you best get started

if you gonna get the raptor get the new one, which is velociraptore.

sound card or raptor, well you said something about needing an input or something, so I guess you need the sound card.

but ya you can get one and install the other later. both are simple, the HDD will have a few extra steps but no big deals

I think the q9650 is the e0 version, and supposedly that OCs better, the q9550 can come in c1 or e0, so its kinda of a lottery.

thats great news
