Need some advice please?

[Holdon Tight]

At the moment I have lots of spare hardware, what would be the best additional components to put it all together in a working machine?

I have:-
2x gtx 280
Noctua push pull cooling fan
8th ddr2 ram (probably to sell rather than use)
Q9550 CPU
Barracuda 50 gb hd
750w psu

By my reckoning I need a case, mobo,different ram, operating system.
All ideas greatly appreciated

What PSU is it? im thinking a SLI motherboard

Thermotec tough power 700w not 750. Hmmm new psu I think lol

For SLI, try and find a motherboard like this - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5ND/#specifications but it might be difficult, theres nothing at OCUK thats suitable

Ha that's what I have/had, it's broken. Can't get the power switches to work. Everything else on it does tho'. I can get it to power up by tripping the connectors but when I attach the cables to case switch it won't switch on. Hang on, does that mean its just a new case then? Lol how thick am I????

Sounds like the answer.

The PSU is fine i reckon, does it have the four 6pin needed(two for each card)

It used to run the two 280's. I cannibalised the machine to upgrade. Don't tell the wife! Hmmm new case to fit the very tall noctua?

Also is the 50GB a typo? and you mean 500GB

 

[Holdon Tight]

Zalman z9 plus?

 

[Holdon Tight]

I do mean 500 yes lol 50gb would be funny

Zalman z9 plus?

Or just a new switch for the case.
