[GOD_OF_GAMES]

what temp does the new intel CPU's run at on full load?

 

[GOD_OF_GAMES]

I dunno if that power supply will be enough if you overclock the cards. otherwise it looks good

ive got a 1200w PSU at home thats why i dident go for the next one up

 

[GOD_OF_GAMES]

a lot cooler than the Q9770

cool. the only thing i can't deside on is iva getin 2X Point of View GeForce GTX 280 1024MB GDDR3 or 2X ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5 ?

 

[GOD_OF_GAMES]

There are issues using 2 x 4870 X2's as they are dual chips and the games have to support Xfire to utilise the full power, just like your 9800GX2's.

Thats why i said the GTX280's as they are very powerful and will play any game with ease.

ok mate thanks. are 2 GTX280's better than 1 4870 X2?

 

[GOD_OF_GAMES]

Hell yeah, wipe the floor with it mate.

ok. thanks for ya help mate and every one else as well. im think i will be getin this settup
