Not a great deal there.

You really don't want an SLI board. You can get everything you need in budget easily.

Here's some reading material while I make a list:

This is about 1400.00 with a 22" monitor and a 4850X2:

That's before rebates. You'll still need a few small items likely.

Wow man I cant thank you enough... Also what other small things might i need? (This is my first rig)

 

[Proximon]

A DVD burner.
Keyboard? Mouse?

That would be about it for now. Later you might want to overclock that quad core or some such and you will want an after market CPU cooler. Stick with the stock cooler for now.

 

[charper2013]

I don't really know how to overclock. Can you point me where to go to learn? Also will i need to buy a OS? If so which one.. Ive always wanted vista but if necessary i can wait.

 

[Proximon]

I knew I forgot something. You'll want this one:

[Proximon]

Don't worry about overclocking for now, take one step at a time.

 

[charper2013]

Ok well when Do i need to strat Ocing?

 

[Proximon]

You don't "need" to start at all. After you have everything set up and running well, get back to us if you still want to mess with it
