id shy away from those video cards... your much better off with a 7900gt or x1900xt ... other than that it looks like a great setup

 

[reaper]

Why do you buy a case with PSU and then buy a separate PSU, and I agreed with prozac, dont buy 2 7600GS for SLI for god sake. With the money you save, buy 2gb of Ram, dont buy 1gb.

Why don't you build it yourself? Might save a couple of bucks.

Do you know the brand of ram they put in. I'm assuming its at least a decent brand, but you might want to double check that.

I'd stay away from IBUYPOWER; I've read some pretty bad things about them. Why don't you build it yourself? I'll second the idea to get a single X1800XT rather than two 7600s.

thx for all the great comments guys. I appreciatte you telling me that the SLI thing will be a bad idea. I have since changed the video card to a 7900GT.

Which is better though? 7900 GT or X1900XTX b/c they are both almost the same price except the ATI card is about 30 dollars less.

Any help is always welcome.

The x1900xtx will kill the 7900 gt

I vote for x1900xtx....
