Didn't you have a super leet PC that you were showing off in your MSN personal message for weeks Niko?

Consider getting one super duper GFX card instead of 2 averagely ok ones

Second DVD drive would be very handy, make it a DVDRW+/-, so you can burn CD's and music

ROM is only reading. You need one ROM and one DVDRW. Most modern games copy protection conflict with DVD RW drives so

What? You only need 1 drive (coming from someone who has 2)

Well, I had a DVD-RW drive only. It conflicted with some of the newer games (COD4, Crysis)'s copy protection. So I bought a ROM drive to install/play games, and kept the RW for burning movies and what not.

Definately get just one graphics card that is fast enough for your needs. SLI and Crossfire do not double the performance even if it effectively doubles the price.

And why is there two HDD's listed there?

TDU should be no problems.

Crysis 2, well, I believe it's simular graphics to Crysis 1, so yeah, it should.

9800 GX2 should be epic. Two GTs is almost overkill, a GTX barely breaks a sweat on most games I've tried, plus with the SLi they'd only be as powerful as a GTX anyway. Needs moar RAMs too

TDU, not a problem. Mine runs at around 100 last time I checked. And that's dual screen

I hate you Niko, now as soon as I can afford it, I'm gunna transfer all my music, LFS, and stuff onto a DVD, buy me a brand new PC and be like yeah

Well first of all there is one major flaw in the system you posted
Gigabyte P43 DS3L has 1 PCI-E lane and intel chipsets don't support SLI anyway still

Well guess the main thing would be what's the res. you will be playin' on since that would help choosing a graphics card thats suitable.

On a training course for my apprenticeship beyatch. Have interview tommorow for a motorcycle techie xD

Why would you want to buy 9800 GX2 when you can get GTX 280 for rougly the same price without having to worry about potential problems with two GPUs?

Personally i would drop one of the Graphic Cards and get 4GB of Ram instead.

In newer games such as Cryisis you can find quite a performance game with the extra memory and also if you plan on using Vista, it makes the whole experience a little bit better (eg that memory hogging part of Vista called Superfetch!).

If you want a budget PC then why not ATi 4870 as a gfxcard?

I have it. It runs crysis everything on very high except for shader on high very well around the 20-30 fps. Well, it has problems with drivers etc.

The rest seems okay for me as I dont understand alot of computers.

Case cost too much? ^-^

You could replace the 9800GT's with a 4870, and the E8300 with an E8400. Also, where's the PSU?

Quote from speedway :

looks like the case comes with a 420W psu...which i doubt will be enough to power 2 gfx's

yup - rip it out and get a modular PSU in

Something like a Corsair will do the good nicely and won't be your week spot in the future.
