Evening dudes....I'm on the verge of ordering a new Gaming Rig...have just about sorted everything I think I need...my limit is £1500, due to getting interest free computer loans from work (over two years...not too shabby huh...)...this is what I have so far....

...now my dilemma is...do I go ATI, maybe start with a X1950 XT-X 512Mb Master card (with the option to drop another in at a later date....), or do I go single GeForce 7950 GX2 1024Mb...???
...whats the verdict folks...I want a decent Gaming machine that will take me through next year...do not tend to think DX10/Vista will be too much of a "must have" till near tail end of 2007...so this card will have to tide me over probably till early 2008...any suggestions/help will be much appreciated...I need to seriously think about ordering at the front of next week...
...to house all this lot I was thinking Akasa Eclipse 62...??...sound like a good idea..??
...Cheers folks...
