Hi got some birthday cash to throw at a new i7 system

whats peoples opinion on this bundle http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-050-OE&tool=3 to go with my 2 x 8800gt,s
Ive got about £550 to spend so i thought this might be ideal.

Thanks for the reply.
anyone know if this board does sli?

Doooooo iiiiiit

There is 2 pci-e slots on it so i would suspect so :0 Dont take my word on it though it is just an educated guess.

EDIT: Or you could buy all the componets seperately for about £500 (£520 with the Zalman cpu cooler which is very good) and over clock it yourself??

You can still build a i7 yourself with a board that does SLI for a little over your budget
