As I am beginning to part out my old system(s), I sold my old 9800GTXs, my old GTX 260s, I am looking to sell the Motherboards. But I was actually thinking about giving 4 fully built systems (or can build) to two of my 'favorite' second younger cousins for gaming. I may concern a third cousin.

These are the builds that I am looking at:

System #1
Asus Striker Extreme with QX6800
8 GB of Corsair XMS
8800GTX in SLI with 8800GTS for PhysX (or 8800GTX inTri-SLI)
2 to 3 hard drives from 300GB to 500GB
Antec 850 or Ultra 1000 (for Tri-SLI)

System #2
Asus P5N-32 SLI Plus with QX6700
4 GB of Hyper X
8800GTS (640) in SLI (or single 8800GTX) with 8800GTS for PhysX
2 to 3 hard drives from 300GB to 500GB
Antec 850

System#3
eVGA 680i with Q6600
4 GB of Corsair XMS
8800GTS (640) OC in SLI (or single 8800GTX) with 8800GTS for PhysX
2 to 3 hard drives from 300GB to 500GB
Antec 850

System#4
evga 750i with Q9550
8 GB of Corsair XMS
eVGA 9800GX2 (OR XFX 295) (or single 8800GTX) with 8800GS for PhysX
2 to 3 hard drives from 300GB to 500GB
Ultra 750

I have two 780i/750i boards which I am keeping to myself, to run with a Q9650.
with the 2 650 ti I just got.

Now I am looking see which is the better then the next and go from there and sell anything else I do not use.

Just like an opinion on which system would be good to run today's games on, even at low settings. Just something for them to play, I am gonna load each with all the games I have played over the last 5 years.

I am currently running on my Alienware M14x and looking to build the 780i as my last Socket 775 build, before I move to iCore.

Any comments would be appreciated. I hope this a good discussion.

system 4 seems like the best gaming setup for me i also still use my qq6600 and my 88gtx burned out the other day from to much built up dust, but any one of those systems can run most modern games as my 88gtx performed well, i would put the latest vga cards in the system as modern drivers tend to decrease old vga card performance

i hope this helped
