Hi everyone,

I'm building a new gaming machine and i've pretty much got all the specs sorted out except the GFX card.

At the moment the specs are:

Cooler Master Centurion 590
AMD Phenom II X4 955 - Black Edition
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe
Corsair XMS2 8GB PC2-6400 800Mhz
OCZ 600W Stealth XStream PSU
500GB HDD
Vista Home Premium x64
24" Iiyama Prolite E2407HDS-B1 (1920x1080)

I'm stuck between 3 graphics cards:

ATI Radeon 4870x2
Geforce GTX285 XXX
2 x Geforce 260 SLI

Now i've read more benchmarks then you can shake a stick at and the 4870x2 seems to come on top pretty much most of the time expcept when put agaisnt the 295 (which i can't afford)

Does anyone have any of the above, and what do you think of it? Which would be best for the 24" Iiyama at 1920x1080?

Thank you :D
 
Also, if you think i should change a certain part of the machine (any part), let me know as i want to build a good stable machine.

Thanks.

That's a great build but i need a copy of Vista x64 with it as well :(

What is the 4890 like compared to the 4870x2?
 
Would you guys say that the i7 920 is better then the AMD 955?

I've looked at benchmarks and the 955 beats the i7 pretty much all the time...
