Well fellas it's that time of the year again for me. I'm doing a complete overhaul of my PC.

eVGA 7800 GTX - $549.00
eVGA 133-K8-NF41 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI - Free w/ video card

What I have
Enermax 550W PSU
Logitec MX 1000 w/ Keyboard
2 X 80Gig HD's
Dual Layer DVD Burner, 24X CD-R Burner

What I need to still purchase
eVGA 7800 GTX - $549.00 (for SLI)
Athlon 64 4000+
Dell 2005fpw LCD

What do you guys think? Any suggestions or changes you might see?
 
Yes. Don't buy that second 7800GTX SLI and paypal the money to me. :D

LOL.. Will do man. My acting career is over for the summer, this will be a good chance for me to catch up on the PC upgrades.
 
This looks like a very good setup. I have seen some remarks (not good) on the forums about the quality of the free evga motherboard, but I have not seen and solid evidence of whether its a good board or not.

Aside from that I'm sure you will enjoy the power of this setup. :D
 
For the HDD's, why not just get a 250GB 16MB cache SATA drive?
Also, if you get another EVGA 7800 /w mobo, can I have the mobo? :D
 
Get one 74 gig Raptor for the OS and apps on one partition, and games on another partition, and maybe a third partition for the page file, then get a 250, 300, or 400 gig 16 meg cache SATA drive for mass storage
 
Looks pretty sweet. I didn't even know eVGA made motherboards, but if their video cards are any indication it's probably really good. Possibly another HDD..but it's not something I'd worry about immediately. Do you have your 80's in any raid config?

its just a rebranded jetway
 
I don't really need that much space HD wise. I'll run the 80's in RAID 0. I hope in the next couple of weeks the Dell 40% coupons come back out on their LCD's. Then I'll hope on that monitor like flys on shit.
