	Nvidia Drivers----AMD Drivers

	Hi postalworker....The build Astrotechnics gave you is the way to go. I don't think it pasted over correctly. The 647011 when I looked comes up with A70 cooler and GTX 570 1.2GB gpus, which is the right on. Sli is recommended if you want to Max out all settings on games like BF3, etc, on 23" screen with 1920x1080. For 1680x1050, sli does give you room to grow. Don't forget free t-shirt
