conserning my next build
I chose the 9800 gx2 black edition as my video card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150305

and this processor

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037

some people told me that dual core and going quad sli with that thing might not be a great idea.

I'm just going to have 1 gx2 for now until i get another one. in the meantime is a dual core really good enough for now?

I think dual core is fine unless you do a ton of multitasking.

should go with 2x 4870's there the way to go right now. even though the drivers aren't the most dependable, they are the most powerful card price per frame.
