Hi, My name is chris aka MadMac. I'm new to the forums.
Anyways I was after a little help from you guys deciding on what components to go for with my new pc.

So far I have a "A8N32-SLI-DELUXE" motherboard, a "AMD ANTHLONX64 4600 DUAL CORE" processor and a coolermaster wavemaster case.

So I need ram, graphics and a psu.

I would like to get the best, so could you guy's please suggest to me what would be the best graphics setup in sli I can't run crossfire and the best memory to go for I was looking for 2gb (2x1gb) and a good 600w+ psu.

Thanks :)

I have already got those components. and lets say my budget is £1000 for the psu, graphics and ram!

At the time I got a great deal on the Amd processor. But if I had to build it again yeah core 2 duo would be best but this is already a massive upgrade for me. :)

Ah really. I always thought nvidia were very stable.

I thought of the 7950gx2 card, I know that 2 7900gtx would be better but i wounder would the extra money be worth the performance increase.

I would like to get a dell 24" monitor so the graphics needs to be good for me to play games at a high resolution!
