Starcraftfanatic,


I would luv to put a QX9650 into system but... but one problem; there is no motherboard out that can support Intels new 45nm platform (QX9650) and support SLI. But I've heard rumors that it will come out in 2008.

So what should I do now?

Why take out network card? It'll make my internet faster?

I don't know what games you're intending to play, but I would go with the QX8650 and dual GTXs. Spend any left over money on other stuff - maybe a huge monitor or a quality stereo setup for it.
