They should all work well together! Although using 2 x 8800GTX is pointless at the moment unless you're using a ridiculously high resolution (2560x1600 or whatever it is) as the CPU will bottleneck the performance. I wouldn't bother with 2 x 8800GTX unless you have a 26"+ monitor.

Otherwise the build is looking good!

Looks ok but i'm surprised you don't have any raptors or a nice sound card in there

 

[skyguy]

Agreed. If you're spending THAT much money on a rig, at least get one Raptor (or 2 in RAID 0 if you wanna go all out) and then a Barracuda for your storage drive.

As for GTX's in SLI, I agree. Unless you're gaming at 24" or 30", don't bother. Get one GTX now, then add another later. With the money you save, get a couple of Raptors

 

[Crapola]

That is a super system, but for 1K, why not get the quad core and OC?

Well I'm going to wait for that. I'm gonna wait a while longer. A newer better one will always come out. And im not sure about all the software on it. Its not compatible with everything. Where can you find the motherboard. I looked all over for it.

 

[stevenp]

i didnt put in a sound card because it comes with some type of good sound card. ill be fine with that. I just want really good performance and appearance. Is there a good monitor that is under $350 with a really high refresh rate and high resolution. I don't want to add the sound card, an independent one, because i dont want to take that much away from the bandwith. it should be fine. ive found a good raptor that has 150gb and im gonna use that.

 

[Crapola]

You can put the QX6700 (quad core) into the mobo that you were going to buy...

Monitor for less than 350. Free shipping on top it. Good bargain
