The BIG question

if you have enough money to get 2 7600s , just try get a 7900 gt or gtx . Two 7600s will be very good, but a 7900 gt or gtx will be a lot lot better.

Looks ok to me - why are you going Micro ATX? is there a case issue or is it just that the price is right? And you are correct, you can't get a 7900GT for £139... An extra £40 would give you a BFG/Leadtek/Asus 7900GT tho or an extra £20 would get you an OCUK 7900GT (if and when they get them back in stock).

"mobo needs to be LGA775 and has to have 4 ram slots "

ok then get a 7900gt its the same speed and get one of them lga board things aswell. why do you need 4 ram slots, 4gb is more than any game requires and 512x4 will run slower than 2 1gb sticks :confused:

Maybe he already has the ram and doesn't want to cough for the 2x 1GB

maybe he should answer!
....

but maybe your right

if so then id sell the 512s like i did and just get a 2gb kit
 
hmm, seen lots of posts saying a x1800xt 256mb is faster than a 7900gt but the reviews over at tomshardwareguide say different.

anyone got any links to x1800xt vs 7900gt?
