    ...sure that all looks good and all..but why do you need all that? especially the 7800 gtx...i hate it when pple see new cards and think they need to buy them to run anything...but hey, its your choice man, you wanna spend like 3000 on a comp, fine

    Well from what I have read the 7800 GXT is really awsome even compared to the 6800 ultra. Also everything is pricing around 2k not 3k. and Im buying for the future so I dont have to replace it so soon. I am not going to SLI it right now going to run it single.

    The reviews I have read actually wierdly enough show it running better single. Once they get SLI more perfected and the card drops in price I may SLI it then or Get two new cards depend on how technolgy advances. Just my opinions.

    Also out of the 2k I have 1k worth of free money to use from business perks. Only draw back is im limited to few vendors. Also Im going to try and make this comp last for 3 years with minor upgrades. (Like adding a new or nother graphics card or bumping up the memory)

    Thx, for any info though.
