I havent got any DVD-CD because I don't know what I could get. But please if theres anything I should/could change, let me know. Or something that doesn't work well with this etc and can get better one, please post it. Thanks
 
get the eVGA GTX not the XFX. eVGA is infamous for being the best Nvidia card maker. Not to mention OC is warrantied and they have a 3 month trade in period
 
I was just talking to a friend of mine, he also told me to get a Case with side fan so my vid card stays cool. I found this one:

NZXT LEXA-NP Black/ Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811146018

Has 3 120mm Fans, and 1 80mm fan. And its also big. Any opinions on this?

Also, he said he's not sure if the Blue Orb II fan will fit in, any idea anyone? I would really like to put it in.

Also, any suggestions on CD / DVD Drives? CD Burner? etc...

Also changed the power supply to this one:

FSP Group (Fortron Source) FX700-GLN ATX12V/ EPS12V 700W All-In-One Power Supply 115/230 V CSA,IEC,UL,CE,TUV

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817104015

Probably better than the old one if i plan on running dual video cards, right?


And about eVGA, I buy 2 of those and dual them instead of the XFX?

Any possible way you could give me a link to the eVGA? I found this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130237

But I was wondering, the XFX says Factory Overclocked, This one doesn't. Don't know if theres one that says Overclocked, but its that the one u mean?


Thanks for help, going crazy trying to find help on this, I don't live in USA, so i cant really make any mistakes when ordering stuff since its not easy to send it back. And I can't get any stuff like this where I'm from. Sorry to bother
 
**** nice computer ^^ I was wondering, If i get the eVGA from the link i posted above, will it vome Factory Overclocked? I don't know how to Overclock etc @_@... Any idea? Also, What else should I get? Pretty much what I posted above is what im getting, of course if eVGA is better I will change for that too. If I need any other cooling devices (Fans etc) please let me know, any cables? and what CD drives, DVD, Burner etc is good? Thanks ^^
 
oc'n a gpu is maaad easy. its done within windows and comes with evga software...two bars...500/1000 etc. just drag em to the settings you want!
 
Oh awesome i thought i had to like connect some stuff etc @_@. Ok well, Changed the 2 Video cards for 2 eVGA 7800 GTX. Anything else? Dunno what CD DVD etc to get, dunno any good ones :/ And dunno if i need more fans etc. Thanks for all help! was going crazy looking for someone to help me ; ;
 
why don't you just wait for the 7900 to come out or if your going to SLI just get a 1900X cuz i mean if your going to spend that much money you might as well get top of the line
