New gaming PC

[deacon91]

Wanting to upgrade my pc which I use purely for games web browsing and movies etc.
This was what I came up with.

Motherboard: Gigabyte S1366 GA-EX58-EXTREME

CPU: Intel CORE i7 920 2.66GHz

RAM: Corsair TR3X6G1600C9 6GB 1600

GPU: 2 x Galaxy GeForce GTX 285 1GB

PSU: Antec 850W ATX Power Supply

Case: CM Storm Scout Gaming Case

Just wanted to know if this will basically keep me going for a while with out having to upgrade my system and if anyone has any opinions for something better for around the same price. I only use nvidia and intel as that is what I've always used and know, better the devil you know then the devil you dont as they say.

instead of the GTX 285 you might want to take a look at the HD 5870. it has the performance of a HD 4870x2 for only $380.

I would wait on the Video Cards, at least buying 2 of them, until Nvidia releases there new cards.

Instead of the Corsair Memory you should look at the OCZ Gold, it's a $1 cheaper and it has better timings.
Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK - Desktop Memory

Or the OCZ Platinum which is $15 more but has Outstanding Timings.
Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P1600LV6GK - Desktop Memory

And I will recommend looking into a Full Tower Case. A i7 system generates a lot of heat and SLI or Crossfire compounds the problem, so the more room the better.
