Increase the PSU if you can,for future vid cards or SLI
 
 
Price a ATI   4870 and see if it will fit your budget.....Ouch

I didn't see an option for 64-bit, is it free to upgrade??
I thought I was going to have to get a better fan :/ I went to the next higest one to stick to my budget Cool

If I go to the 800mhz would it make a noticable difference?

I might but I prefer to buy new PC's rather than upgrade and the ATI is way out of my budget Smile

EDIT: This is OP I accidentally forget to check to send updates on details to my e-mail so that's why I made this account

I'm not sure if you can play at max settings with that card, the 260+ gtx is most likely the one to let you do that.

Hey thanks for reviewing but, do you mind looking at another thing that I came up with?

231803

Is everything compatible?  Would my two gfx cards overheat w/
the standard chassis fans and heatsink?

that build won't work, you can't put a q9300 on a 680i you need to go with 780i mobo.

you will need a bigger psu to use 2 x gpu
