Spec me some AMD bits please for 8800ultra sli

metalmackey · 4 Nov 2009 at 21:00

Hi guys

My brother want to build a cheapish PC to run games like RE5 and Batman with high detail but no AA. I have 2 8800 ultras he can use in SLI for graphics. He wants a duel core AMD, 4gb of RAM, a PSU and a motherboard that will take the 2 ultras in SLI. Needs to be as cheap as possible but still nice performance please

So can you guys spec a CPU, RAM, mobo and PSU please.

Thank you

Isnt that mobo out of stock? and for gaming a phenom is going to be MUCH better than an athlon

Thanks guys

Is there a lot of performance difference between the 2 CPU's suggested? Also, will 600 watts be enough to power the 2 Ultras and other bits (wont be overclocking)?

Thanks again

EDI: The 2 Ultra's need 4 x 6pin connectors for power, do the above PSU's have these as it says they dont on the descriptions

I've found a PSU with the right connectors to power the cards. Can you guys recommend a case that everything will fit in because the 2 Ultras take up a lot of room and I dont want drives, ports ect getting in the way.

Thanks again
