basically if i change the ram and mobo to cheaper models i can use the saved money to get a better graphics card wheather this is the right thing to do or not is the question? both running an e6600 on air, planning on overclocking as much as i can!
1st setup:
Asus STRIKER EXTREME 680I SLI Socket 775 onboard Audio ATX
Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400 (TWIN2X2048-6400C4D) DOMINATOR
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB KO ACS3 Dual DVI HDTV PCI-E
2nd setup:
Asus COMMANDO P965 Socket 775 Onboard Audio ATX
OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC with LIFETIME WARRANTY
EVGA 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 384bit Dual DVI PCI-E
the money saved by setup 2 compared to setup 1 allows me to upgrade to a GTX instead of a GTS, but i really like the nvidia board as the intel ones designed for ati cards
