I am about ready to press the checkout button but first will somebody glance at this list and tell me if you forsee any compatibilities, thanks

ASUS A8NX5
Evga 7800GTX
Patriot ram 3200
Antec truepower 2.0

So, as far as I can tell there should be no issues, but I would like to have some sort of feedback from the [H]Team

again, thanks
 
How come you dont want an SLI board, I'm sure your going to want to do it sooner or later

Click to expand...

yeah but I must draw a line here somewhere. I saw that new egg has the X1800XT for about 459.00 should I get that rather than the GTX?

SLI in my opinion is for the serious hardcore gamers with the dough to blow...Thats not me. I love to play games, but I got 3 kids and a full time job and I am a full time student so games are more on the lower end of the priority list.

I grabbed this board on the premise that is is just like a cut down version of the A8N deluxe(no SLI) but has most of the other features.

also, I have decided to get the antec trueblue 480 PSU, I have heard a ton of great things about that particular unit, any comments that may sway my decision?

thanks
 
GeForce 7800 GTX (G70) Specs Updated:
Single card requires min. 400W PSU with 12V rating of 26A
SLI configuration requires min. 500W PSU with 12V rating of 34A

Dont go the x1800XT, they arent performing better then the GTX. the x1900XT Does thought.. but more expensive.

As for the SLI. SLI = crap, well for me. SLI is for the guy who wants the best hardware RIGHT NOW and want to crank up AA and AF to max at 16x12 and anyways wont have a lot more FPS`s.. For me SLI is useless because. for the price of 2 gtx, you can get one x1900XT that can perform better then one, and will be half the price. Over that you have to pay an extra 50$ for a sli mobo + extra 50$ for SLI psu + heat issue + SLI profile trouble... BTW i think crossfire is even worst.

But, to be honest, if i had the money for it, why not. But understanding your situation, a second GTX wont make you more happy :p .

With a single 7800GT i can play CSS 6x AA and 16x AF on 16x12 with fps always over 100. on bf2, everything at max on 1024x768, 80fps average... serously with the GTX (right now they are good priced for performance) go for the gtx instead of the x1800XT, but if you can have a cheap x1900XT, go for it.
