Complete my system!

[Danith]

This is what I have:
Antec P160W case
Intel 805D 2.66 (Plan on OCing it)
XP-120 Heatsink + 120mm fan
ASUS P5WD2-E Premium MB
2 gigs DDR2 memory
2x 250GB SATA2 WD HDD..

What I need to get:
DVD writer/reader (prob just going to go for the cheapest one I find on newegg that has Lightscribe - always wanted to try it)

Video Card - As the P5WD2-E supports crossfire.. I was thinking of either: 1 x1900XT now, and maybe another in a couple months, or 2 x1800XT's now..

Powersupply - really no clue here. Most likly something off of the crossfire compatability list from ATi...

your cpu will bottleneck the gpu, but if really like it go with 2 1800x's or whatever they're called and go with a fortron 700 watt pus for like 150. theres a guy iknow and he has ati x1900 crossfire and he has that psu and its perfect

i think you should get just 1 X1800XT and then when the DX10 cards come out get one of them and sell the old one. Then you could eventually have 2 DX10 cards.

DVD-RW: BenQ DW1655 Lightscribe non-OEM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101008 Great drive, reads, writes with minimal error rate, what can I say? Better than the popular NEC. I've read around.. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=16050 ; http://www.extrememhz.com/dw1655-p1.shtml

Video Card: I'd say 1 X1900xt now, then another card later if you need the extra power, or upgrade to a R600 or w/e is next for ATI down the road once that platform matures (DX10) or w/e. If you have the money, spend it now, sell the "old" one(s) when you want the nex gen , and spend the money you earned plus a little extra to have a top of the line system again..most of the people here can afford top end crossfire and sli, so getting the best now, then selling shouldnt be too much trouble.

PSU: Like boomheadshot45 said, the Forton Source Epsilon FX700-GLN is a great PSU, but without a price range, this all may be too much for you. Here's a link: http://www.directron.com/fx700gln.html
