i wouodn't spend the money for 2 7800gt's...no use for two yet.
...as well....i'd just get the ultra-d. to me anyway, the small amount of stuff offered for the DR isn't worth the money

If you've got the money, that'll make a sweet system...

Its a wee bit overkill, you could drop one 7800GTX.

 

[SILVERWOLF]

Drop the GTX cards and get one GT instead. Use the extra money to buy an extra gig of RAM. Your processor is a bit pricy too, so you could probably drop down to the next highest CPU (I think the 4600 or 4400 is one below the 4800). Don't forget to buy yourself a nice case and heatsink, so you can overclock.

Buy another GT a couple years down the line when they're cheaper, and then SLI it.

 

[beedubaya]

Yeah, no need for 2 7800GTXs in SLI. I do however say stay with one 7800GTX instead of dropping it to the GT. The GT has 4 less pipes which you may more may not be able to unlock. If you are going to spend that much on a graphics card, you want to get the real deal.

 

[PZEROFGH]

none of the link work lol

so drop down the processor to a 4400+ toledo which is exactly the same only difference is the clockspeed

stick with the two 7800GTX sense your saving like 300 dollars or something like that

and get 2GB of some really really nice G.Skill

For me personally, I would have just one GTX, have 2gig of ram, and have a 4400 (not the 4600 as it has 512 cache instead of the 1mb.) and with the money left over, get some good cooling, and overclock it a bit. Just a 200mhz overclock, and it would be the same as the 4800.

Also, the SLI-D is almost the same as the DR, just minus 4 sata ports (the DR has 8) and the rest is minor changes.

There will be money left over still though. Put this in to a savings account, and when the next lot of graphics cards come out, get one of them.

 

[truebe]

The 4400 has 2mb and the 4600 has 1mb L2 cache.

2 7800GTXs seems a bit much.
I would get 1 GTXand get 2GB of OCZ RAM.
