Post links please, it would make checking out the system your planning a lot easier to check out.

Just 1 thing, don't get 4 gigs of ram. That's a bit of an overkill

ya 2 Gigs in dual channel is good,
what kind of Power supply are you getting.

Gigaram is some cheap RAM, doesn't OC well, and seems to die fairly quick. There is alot of better alternatives out there.

and also what kind of psu are you getting? hopefully you don't plan on using the one that comes with the case. To push the GTX and that X2 you will need a fairly good psu.

1 i would switch over to a DFI nF4 SLi-DR
2 switch the ram yes
3. get 2GB cause windows doesnt like 4GBs
4 tell us what company video card your getting, get eVGA< leadtek, gigabyte, DONT GET XFX!!!!
5. tell my the final price

Dont waste your money on X-Fiu unless you are getting a high quality 5.1 or 7.1 system. The onboard sound will work great for standard stero speakers.

well, i do own a pair of logitech z-560 4.1's, and i will most likely end up buying their z-5500's, but i will stick with the integrated and see how that is, thanks for the advice.

 

[stishdr]

the DFI on newegg doesn't say it supports the cpu i have piced out, its an X2, so i would if it was compatable, and ill get back soon with a final price for everyone.
