and my question is im wondering if i'll have enough molex plugs from the PSU for my 2x HD, 2x vid cards, and 2x dvd drives cause when i check the vid card it requires 2x 4pin molex plugs for each vid card ;/
 
Do you already have a CPU or did I miss that? If not is it going to run on a hamster wheel :D
 
sorry yes had to edit my post, listed PSU twice; ; my CPU is listed on number 8.
 
Well couple of things really, don't know if your against intel or not (some are) but the intel conroe chips are meant to be alot better then current AMD's, also if your up for intense gaming new graphics cards are out in november so you might wanna hold off on SLI? Its really upto but other then that I like it :)
 
Get a single 7900GS or GT. Don't waste your money on SLI.

Get the WD HD that ends in YS instead.

You'll have enouph power cords.

You can always split them.

Yea I'm not really a Intel fan but I heard about Conroe so my last experience with an Intel went downhill so I decided to stick with AMD but i'll be sure to look forward to this on my nxt upgrade seeing as I only wanted to build a system for gaming (not that hardcore) and vista ready.

And about the new video cards being release this November, I didnt know about this and I kinda wanted to try out SLI seeing as people having different opinions about it I had to try it out for myself for experience and I didnt wanna go overboard and get 2x G7 series heh.

I have a question about the HD u recommend whats the difference from the one I got and the one that ends in YS??

And thx again for the advice :) I Just wanted to be ready for Vista and DX10 kinda went from a big upgrade from my Dell Dimension 8200. ;)
 
That upgrade will be better than a Dell 8200, but to be ready for Vista, get more memory, since Vista hogs it way more than XP.
