Okay so you know the drill, eyeball this setup and tell me what I missed. Power Req's, mismatch of tech, etc. Keeping it under 1000, keep it upgrade ready. I'm open to all suggestions of improvment.
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
[Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 896MB
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2
Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb
LG Black CD/DVD Combo
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
Rosewill Conqueror Case
This came out to $900 even, including shipping. $830 after mail in rebates. I'm thinking that 600W PSU may not be enough should I ever want to put another 260 in, but I dunno. Tell me what you think. The GPU is combo'd with the case from newegg, at a total of 340 for both.
EDIT: Looking around it would appear SLI support is slightly overrated, is this something I should be avoiding? it's been a while since I've done SLI:Single Card comparisons. I figured the tech was better now. Would it be better price vs performance to go with two 9600gts? This rig is intended for gaming, which eventual move to 24" monitor (not included)
