that's everything i got so far. most of these i picked out because they either look good/they has high rating from newegg.com some of the price i list is not very accurate. btw this is my first time building a pc and im on a budget of $2000. also this is my first time with forum, so i apologize if i broke any rule.

That looks like a cheap psu, I would look into investing more money into one. Also for the mobo, it would prob be best to just get an MSI or DFI board. Finally for the price your paying for the processer, it may be best to go x2.

 

[Sprooty]

No need for an SLI board especially if your only going to play WOW.

 

[PZEROFGH]

swith over to a DFI NF4 ultra-D

and get a 3700+ san diego.

I would keep the SLI board but go with DFI just in case you feel like adding another card in the future. That way if you do end up wanting to put anther one in you wont have to buy a whole new motherboard.

SLI is totally overrated unless you have a decent card and a crappy machine, and are upgrading the machine but wanna hang onto a card and maybe double it's power later.

Go without the SLI and get a single 6800GT to run every game on the market...

go with eVGA for your 6800GT

 

[HAVOC]

I agree with most of the posts so far. No SLI for a game like (WoW). Also consider may-be a AMD 3200+ venice and pick up a 7800GT. Games are more dependent on the GFX card then the CPU. I wouldn't recommend installing an OS on a 400GIG HDD unless you partition it into say 4 smaller partitions. -OR- You could go with a WD Raptor74G @ 10K and pick up say a 250gig seagate as additional storage. Also That monitor is reather expensive, you could pick up one with equal to better performance at least $100.00 less. LIke the Viewsonic VX-924 19" LCD.

thx for the reply guys. so should i get just go with one 1gb ram or 2 of them? is patriot a good brand? also, what's a good psu? about the processor, what's venice and san diego?

 

[Mag3]

sorry guys, one more question, is there any other place cheaper than newegg.com but with the same quality of service and product?
