You can get a non-SLI motherboard unless you plan to purchase another 6800GT anytime soon.

The Rest looks fine.

CD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101131 - $22.00
DVD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827151066 - $40.99


i came up with those. I don't see use for a floppy drive. also, you think i could run far cry and bf2 on top notch settings with this set up?

Doesn't need to be an SLI mobo and also..... AAAHHHH WESTERN DIGITAL!!! And of course you can run those games on this system, it'll kick their ass.

 

[untitledsn41]

western digital isnt the best? can someone please select a better Hard Drive and also a sound card. maybe a case that is quieter or perhaps silent fans.

Yeah. DFI LanParty nf4 Ultra-D.

But that sentence you put together doesn't make much sense.



Western Digital are good. Seagate are good also. Don't go Maxtor, they have a tendency to fail.
