Going to order them sometime this week, I just need your guy's final opinions. Anything you'd change? Any places I can save? Also, if you think something is overkill PLEASE LET ME KNOW! This is my first time building a computer, and even though I did some research I'm still a noob so help out if you can

actually, i think it is all a very good build. nothing is overkill, and nothing is too cheap or incompatible......and i especially like your choice of GPU, the 7900gs is a great card, have fun!

If it's alright, I'm going to keep that build for helping other people out.

Again, great build!

 

[Jrod]

go for it.

ok, so nobody has any critiques??

 

[Jrod]

Q: How does the Asus P5W deluxe compare to the eVGA 680i sli board?

 

[nicholasp7]

IDK, I have the 7900GS and I am not happy. Get the Gt.

 

[Jrod]

Anybody else think I should up the GPU?

(btw i have a 24" monitor if that changes things. also, just so you know I don't plan on going dx10 for a while..and forget my mobo question earlier, i'm getting the a5w )

 

[Jrod]

Ok, no replies...so I guess I'll buy the GS...

 

[Coke27]

get the gt

 

[Jrod]

I don't see an evga 7900gt on newegg. What's a good alternative?
