Final Check Please

January has come and I have enough cash to get a new machine. Just before I click the Buy Now button can anyone give me a reason why not or what to change.

I'm looking at buying the following system. I plan to add a 2nd 8800GTS at some point so the machine needs to have the power etc so that I can just add this card without having to upgrade anything else.

Im also looking at overclocking the processor.

If anyone can suggest any bottlenecks or improvments in the system now or for my future plan for it with the 2nd 8800GTS then please let me know.

Thanks

Very nice system, shouldnt bottleneck aslong as you OC. Im sure my CPU was bottlenecking my GPU untill i overclocked. My average FPS in css a was under 100. With the CPU and GPU overclocked i get over 200FPS constant

. Those CPUS OC very nice. Although the 965 chipset is better with lower cache CPU's so i wonder if theres any 965 boards like the DQ6 which can do SLI ? The 680i should do well though

. Go for Evga if you can they have better warrenty and i think they got the step up program..

thats not a bad rig you've come up with there! looks like you're planning to build a very quiet system as well

Thanks, though I've had some help in previous posts.

Doh got delayed ordering the above, and now the Tagan 800w pSu is out of stock.

Anyone think it would be a problem to drop down to a 700w?

Nope - will still run 2* 8800GTS fine.
