nice build
an x1900gt or 7900gt would be better than 2 7600gt's in SLI and should be around the same price.

Everything is nice for a while... and then it falls apart at the end.

SLIing two 7600GTs in a very very bad and money wasting idea. Those cards are around $200 each. So for $400 you can get a X1900XT (and have $100 left over) that will smoke then both and give you room to spare. Don't make that mistake and fall into the SLI trap.

Better yet, a x1900xtx, becuase of the rebate newegg has offered for the card. SLi for any card is pointless right now with DX10 coming out the end of this year, possibly even before and Vista in January.
