Why go dual GTX with crap ram like that?

In fact, why go dual GTX? If money is no object, or less an object, get one GTX512 now and one later.

I like the Redlines a little better but I can't find any reasonably priced:

I agree, you should get 2gb of ram instread but het axman i think he wants his to upgrade before 2008. Its almost impossible to find the 512 mb card
 
I would want fan cooled. Its already about at its $$ limit. With what i posted it was like close to 2600 or so. I would like to keep the price under 3000 but the cheaper the better.

Maybe i should drop the dual gtx's and go with a single X1900XTX? And upgrade the ram. Would the motherboard i picked work with X1900XTX?

You could just drop the GTXs and go with two GTs.

I personally wouldn't pay so much for a processor (that's why I got my 3700+. I plan to upgrade down the road to a X2), but more power to you.

Looks good, have fun. :)
