I wouldnt go with SLi if you plan on overclocking because the 680I's are behind with P35 and X38 being much better chipsets.

If you wish to go crossfire I suggest the DFI lanparty X38 or P35 motherboard

P35 Lanparty

X38 Lanparty

Ram go with crucial ballistix

if you want crossfire go with 750Quad with crossfire support unless the 610 does corssfire.

CPU:Q6600

CAse Cosmos 1000, cooler amster 690 centurion 5 antec 900 etc.

750GB Seagate barracuda hdd.

LG or Samsung DVD burner

Yes, I can confirm that the 610 will do crossfire: it has 2 6 pin PCI-E connectors.

I have it to but just because it has 2 6 pin PCI-E connectors doesnt mean its certified to do Crossfire. just sayingh.

I'd say go with Vista
I like all the eye candy (aero, dreamscene) and what not

well the 8800gt is a new release:

8800gt or hd3870 in SLi or 8800gt SLi or 1 hd3870
q6600
x38 Abit Board for Crossfire, 680i if u want SLi
Thermalright Ultra 120
Corsair 520hx
Antec 900
500gb HD
LG DVD-RW Drive
Auzentech X-Fi Card

this is still well under his budget
i suggest adding in a stacker and then he can spend the rest on games :laughing:
