Oh ya one more thing I read about he Killer ping cards under the systems tab, but when building the computer I didn't see it. Does anyone know if it comes with it or where to find it?

Just in case you don't have vista 64 or xp 64 lying around, you seem to have forgotten your OS.


Also if you plan on using a 32bit OS, I'd go with 2 gigs of 800/1066 RAM instead of complete overkill with 4 gigs of 677.


And as far as your vid card goes, I recommend the new 8800 gts 512 over the GTX for cost/performance.

Ya I have a new Vista Ultimate 64. Can the 8800 gts 512 play the new cames like Crysis, COD 4, and more? Would the dual 8800 gts 320 mb be better then the singal 8800 gts 512?

Don't even know why you are considering 8800GTS 320 SLI for a new system...

The 8800GTS 512 can handle the games...
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

Can't comment on an SLI setup, but this chart speaks for itself as far as 512 GTS vs GT vs GTX in crysis.
