i want to know that cards today are being like x2 and that if any day in the future i will need to upgrade will i only need a new M.Board and the SLI/Crossfire card..?

1. I would get rid of the 4200+ and the mobo, and go for an intel core 2 duo with a compatible socket 775 mobo, the performance difference is immense.

2. Your card is more than enough, IMO xfire would be a waste of money as the new range of directX10 cards are just on the horizon.

3. Are you sure an 80GB HD will be okay for you?

EDIT: 4. Also you may want to consider 2GB RAM
 
1. im going AMD, they have proved and they will kick the conroe out soon...
2.Will DX10 support PCI-E slot
3. i will have a another 80GB HD my old one.
 
well i made this similar build think i will go Conroe........ this is the build it is the same amount of money :

Core™2 Duo E6300, 1066Mhz, s775, 2MB Cache
ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 s775, 945P, DDRII 667, 2xPCI-E Crossfire
512MB TwinMOS x2
Radeon X1900XT 512MB, 2xDVI, VIVO, PCI-E
80GB 7200RPM, 8MB, SATA II
Supertalent CA-601UFK Black
RockeTeer III 500W Silent (24pin)

My only question is the M.Board any good my limit for the M.board is 700NIS check these sites if you would like to find a better one for the same price
ksp.co.il - they have english
noacomp.co.il - they have english
 
Looking good, I would recommend the Intel D975XBX Mobo, it's available on that ksp.co.il site.

Also you may want 2GB Ram in your system :)
 
well.... im getting another 1gb of Ram 1 month after i buy the PC so yay but that M.Board is 300NIS over my budget so i cant get it :( maybe find a diffrent one
