Where are you buying it from and have you priced it out on newegg.com? Have you any interest in building one yourself.

i would get a different case, antec 900's dont have good wiremanagment

also u might look into the gtx 295, there better then the 4870 x2's

That is a good deal for a whole i7 computer with 2x 4870x2 but I would just get one gtx295.

Actually are you sure its 2 4870x2 and not just 1? Because guesstimating the prices of the parts and going down the list I get to $1500 by the time I reach the video cards.

 

[stalin90]

forgot to mention get ur cpu form here:
Micro Center - Intel® Boxed Core® i7 Processor 920

only $240

Where are you getting this from? Are you in the states? And is that prebuilt or are you building?
