their it is. I will add it up in a sec. but I think there is room in thier for a monitor. and possibly a better video card.

Also, am i able to put two of those graphic cards into the motherboard or is that a waste of money because the direct x 10 graphic cards are coming out

Don't worry about using SLI/Crossfire. One top-end card should do you for now... a mid-range card would do you for now as well.

If you are looking forward to the next gen coming out, I wouldn't splurge too big on a card right now. The new ones are due out in November, so you'd just be turning around and selling your current card at a loss.

Be sure to go with a full size case, though. The new cards are huge. The Armor case Bean mentioned will be fine... it's even the one with the side window.
