Now for the questions
1. Will everything posted above fit together correctly? How about the quality (I'm not OCing btw)? Notice that some things i selected are OEM. Is it ok that these are OEM, or am I missing something like wiring because a particular component is OEM and not retail?
2. Video cards. An ATI x1950XTX is $480. A Evga 7950GX2 is $500. Which is better for me?
3. I have a question about DX10. If I were to dump the x1950XTX/7950GX2 idea, and buy a 8800GTX instead in nov., would it be able to run on Windows XP? Or do DX10 cards only run on Vista?
4. Any other comments about the setup?
Thanks a bunch. If everything looks ok, I'm going to order the CPU and GPU myself, and I can get all the other parts for b-day/christmas. I have alot... and I mean alot of family.
