Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-NX88T512HPV1 GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

wait, wait, why do u have 9600GT!!!! have u really checked the prices? From newegg, EVGA 8800GT is 10 bucks different from an EVGA 9600GT, or u just wanna get 9 series?

9600GT - $154

8800GT - $169

So, still on 9600?

Pick up a 8800GT not a GTS. And switch that HDD out for a WD, Seagate or Samsung F1.

Naillik where do you live? Kebapche one of my buddies is selling his X-Fi fatal1ty for 80$ because he is upgrading to X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty. So if you are in US its better deal for you i think

[{CLR} Naillik]

I live in canada, so I can't use Newegg, and my mum is really against any online ordering.

Looks like a winner. Just add a case, psu and optical drive if you need one. Oh, and more importantly.... DDR2.

[{CLR} Naillik]

DDR2 = RAM?

Optical drive = the place you put CD's into?

PSU = Google time!


Edit, okee doke, time to look around for some stuff I'm clueless when it comes to cases, unless I'm airbrushing em, so anyone know a nice case?

another edit, any suggestions on PSU?

Coolermaster makes some of the nicest looking (and working) cases...I like the centurion series.

It's better to have to much than not enough. Also, you need to think about future upgrades.
