    build time finally here

    Since i'm at work the last post took longer than expected to post and i didn't see this post. i'll look over the items when i get a chance and i may revise my option three. Thats a thought about waiting till the rebates were received, though that could be 6-11 weeks later and there is still a...

    build time finally here

    Instead of reediting the original post I've listed the three systems here now that i'm considering. The First is the original SLI config, The 2nd is the single card config, and the final is a crossfire config. The following stays consistent between the three builds COOLER MASTER...

    Well thats would be a small start and would bring it down to the 1500 budget, and would still leave about $50 to recover, I'll go over by a little, but would rather not go too far over. The $1523 i quoted before is about as far over as i would like to go over, and yes that is counting...

    Thanks for the benchmark links, I actually didn't realize that the 8800gt was that close to the gtx. I still haven't fully ruled out running SLI. When you said that the Q6600 + SLI still fit in the budget were you dropping something from the list? i was just over the $1500 budget amount...

    I had considered a crossfire solution but when i posted in the video card from about going either sli, crossfire, or a single highend card. the majority was recommending the high end card. There doesn't seem to be much price difference at the moment between the solutions though i've not fully...

    build time finally here

    Being busy at work may have its advantages. I never got the system ordered. So here we are several weeks later and it appears that the 680i won't support the upcoming processors from intel. Because of this i'm a little bit weary on going the SLI route and will most likely stick with a single...

    SLI or Crossfire or Single highend card

    Well from other research and reading the postings here, I'll probably swap the build to a single card and a p35 motherboard, I'll probably look at getting a single GTX, It looks like the GTX runs around $500 so is cheaper than the dual gt option.. If i can find an ultra around the...

    SLI or Crossfire or Single highend card

    Sorry thought i had included the resolution.. I have a dell 24" lcd so I normally run at 1920x1200. I plan on pickup up crysis and bioshock sometime after the upgrade. I'm currently running a single 7800gt with the monitor and decided to wait on some of the new games until i could do the...

    SLI or Crossfire or Single highend card

    Currently looking to build a new gaming system, posted in the general forum and had the build pretty much finalized and was hoping to have ordered the weekend following thanksgiving. Because of work that hadn't happened yet and now i'm ready to place the order but have read quite a bit about...

    Ok going to go with the Corsair 620 instead for the power supply, Price won over the extra power. Also going to go with vist home premium, Ultimate is not worth the $68 price difference when you can find free software since that was the main reason i was looking at ultimate to begin with...

    build time finally here

    The only reason i was considering Vista Ultimate was for the remote desktop function that is not included in Home premium, though in retrospec I'm not sure the one feature is worth ~$68. I hadn't really looked at the prices of the other versions. The power supply choice was made by looking on...
