why 9800s?? also, GTs or GTXs?? i just think the 9 series cards are quite overpriced for the performance they offer, and the fact that you're not gonna be doing any heavy gaming makes me think the 3870s would be a better choice for you... plus if you do decide to start gaming a bit, you can switch CF on and they'll perform like a GTX 260 or HD 4870 (in games that do CF/SLi decently)... but if you're set on 9800s for some reason (CUDA??), they'll be a pretty sweet choice, but the g92 based 8 series cards will perform equally as well as their corresponding 9s, and should be cheaper too
