it's a hard choice, paint
I think with a 19-inch monitor configuration SLI is absolutely useless, so we recommend using one video card now, and perhaps adding another in the future.
intel I7 Available, now.
At february Phenom II (socket AM3 and AM2+) released (then there will be competition with the I7, and the prices are lower)
There are also exited the first DDR3 kits triple channel 1600Mhz.
And finally there are also the first SSD (solid state disk). doh

Well from my point of view we will never be able to be ahead on technology. I play UT2004 on low settings perfectly fine because I would rather the game be playable than laggy with the settings all the way up. This PC is lightyears better than the one I am using now and the one I have now (Celeron 3ghz, 7600 GS 512mb, 1 gb ram). So I really am just building the PC to last as long as possible because I don't care about having the newest and best computer to run everything on Ultra High. I am a graphics whore like most people, but only if the price is right 8) . Also I read the i7 isn't good for gaming because it doesn't have a large L2 cache which apparently is good for gaming. Also I strictly stick to Intel and Nvidia you could call it support from birth. I have always had and used Intel and Nvidia and I never have not been happy or amazed.

Wow water cooling, even looking at it makes me nervous. Just the fact of having water near anything having to do with my computer would freak me out. Your PC look sweet that kana
All that stuff in there sure does make things look intimidating but minus the water cooling I can do that.
