4870 x2 or wait for...something else????

Im building a new rig. as you can see at the mo i have the 4870 in the basket. Should i instead go for the 4870 x2 or will there be something else by christamas???

Do you think that case will take the large 3d cards like 4870 x2. I chose that case becasue of the double fan at back so i can easily mount a double radiator. If not are there any alternatives?

I would wait to build a new rig until Nehalem personally. That should last you a lot longer than the one you have in your list.

you see, i need a rig now. Because im selling my current rig and monitor and replacing it with this rig plus monitor for similar price so i need to change now unless i go until then with no rig!

Look at my signature it is mainly the same parts as the new rig. The reason that im selling is so the extra money from being a complete system will get me enough money for this 24"

Im still at school so i dont have any monthly income so my only income is from a well known auction site!!!! + £15/month.

I will probably have about £300 - £400 ish plus the price i can get for my P45 deluxe and Q6600 go by christmas. Is that enough for the Nehalem plus mobo?

why have you got a p45 deluxe in your basket when you have one already in your sig?

Because im selling this rig. Point is that i will sell this and then buy parts again for less than i sold it for.
