Ok, well i have been browsing al day and im looking at two specs curently:

Spec 1:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
2GB DDR2 Ram, 533Mhz
2x 300GB HDD Serial ATA
20" Viewsonic VA2012
ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe Mobo
2x 512MB ATI Radeon X1900XTX Crossfire

Spec 2:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
2GB DDR Ram, 400Mhz (PC3200)
2x 300GB HDD Serial ATA
20" Viewsonic VA2012
ASUS A8N-SLI PCI-Express Mobo
2x 256MB GeForce 7900GT SLI

Which graphics cards will work out best?, is there anything i should change? Will i actualy benifit from such a high spec?

My current spec is:

AMD Athlon Barton 2500-M @ 2.41Ghz
1GB (2x512MB) Twinmos Ram @ 400Mhz 7-3-3-2.5 Timeings
2x 120GB 7200RPM HDDs
Abit NF7-s V2.0 Mobo
AGP X800XL 256MB Graphics
17" Samtron CRT Monitor

Will i actualy notice much difference between the new pc specs, and my current specs? IE will it be worth the money?

The only reason im actualy doing a new build is because this has a problem where it jerks teribly in games and i have tried almost everything to no avail.... TY :D

Ok, im not decided on the spec, but im not sure what graphics i want....

1x X1900XTX 512MB £1950
2x X1900XTX 512MB £2300
2x X1800GTO 256MB £1900

Would it be worth the extra £350 for Xfire X1900XTX over 1 XTX?
Which would be better 2X X1800GTO or 1X X1900XTX?

TY :)

Oh and will the monitor be ok for games etc?

Couple of questions

Which will be the best/most powerfull setup?

7900GTX 512MB
X1900XTX 512MB
2x 7900GT 256MB

Would getting a PC ready made be better than building it myself? I ask this because my last few pcs have died horible deaths....
