Hi Guy's
 I just got my DS computer last week and was wondering if it would be beneficial to take out the Fata1ty sound card and add another geforce 250 gts 1GB for triple sli. I'm running 2 video cards now in SLI with the sound card in the middle PCI-16 slot (thats the only room left) Is the onboard sound any good? Or leave as is and keep the sound card in, and upgrade video cards.
 
I have the EVGA x58 3x SLI (Intel x58 chipset) (Supports Triple SLI or CrossFire)
 
Also will my power supply run 3 video cards
Power Supply: 750W Digital Storm Certified (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition Recommended)

I would sell the two 250's and get a 5850, or wait for a 360 fermi. 3 Gts 250 will get killed by one of those cards and draw way less power

Yeah i would wait for the fermi in the next 2 months or upgrade to a later series like 275's. I wondef if 1x275 or 1x285 would be better than your two 250's. I don;t have access to charts ATM.
