1. Where's the KB, Mouse and Monitor?

2. Replace the Sapphire 5870 with XFX, Asus or GB.(Sapphire have a crap warranty)

3. Not a fan of SuperTalent. Go for Corsair, OCZ, or Gskill. My experiences with SuperTalent are not good ones...

4. DO NOT GET THE i7 950. Get the 920 and overclock that using the Promilatech. Then use the saved money to get another SSD or something...

5. Don't bother with the sound card, unless you do sound editing or you are an extreme audiophile.

And why bother with 3 graphics cards anyway? It's silly. The 5870x2 will be out soon.

816935 2009-10-05 19:09:00 ASUS or Gigabyte for the graphics card.

And what game are you going to be playing that actually uses 2 5870s?

816936 2009-10-05 19:15:00 Give it heaps if you can afford it, the better the graphics the better the gameplay
We got wasted on Grid the other night by a noob with a playtech gaming pc, it certainly made it easier for him to line up the corners etc.
Make sure you get a good 2ms monitor, 24 inch at least
