Don't forget windows and arctic silver 5 if needed. Other than that looks good.

EDIT: if your getting a 7800GTX, anything under 2.2Ghz is kind of a bottleneck so make sure if your OCing get above 2.2, or just buy a 3700+ or a 3500+

[no_Wedge]

no, not gtx, the GT

 

[PZEROFGH]

now its close to 1000

 

[damasta55r]

I don't think the ocz ram is worth the money in this case. His original setup should do fine. He might want to save and get the non-sli version for $135, but other than that. Its good. Saving the sli, he could probably get the gtx.

 

[PZEROFGH]

i dunno why he got the dfi nF4 sli he shuold have got the DFi nF4 ultra-D with some better OCZ ram other then the patriot ram which was around the same price

 

[no_Wedge]

i think patriot will be a great OC'r reading the revies, and I wouldn't I want sli, so in the future I can get another 7800GT, (which performance almost as well as SLI'd GTXs)?

 

[PZEROFGH]

most people can mod the Dfi nF4 ultra-D into an SLi
