Was just about to order my nvidia 295 bfg when i realised i dont even know if it will be compatible with my setup. My setup is below.

Wolfdale E8400 @ 3GHZ (OCKED TO 4GHZ)
ASUS P5Q http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-277-AS
8 GIG MEMORY https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-148-CS x2
Coolermaster psu http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-148-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

Hope its compatible, please let me know guys, thanks.

OH THE 295 IS THIS ONE http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-087-BG :)
 
Should all be fine - have fun with your awesome card.

Make sure you register for your BFG warranty as soon as you get the card, it really is some of the best service around.
 
i was worried because i know my board only holds 1 card, im not really sure why that is. So it will defo work then? i need to be certain cos its a lot of money hehe
 
Should slot happily in the 1 PCI-E x16 slot. The GTX 295 may have two GPUs but it is the same size as any big dual slot graphics card.

The only possible probles would be if you have got something in the fist PCI-E x1 slot. If thats the case - move it to the second PCI-E x1 slot :) Or if the card was too long for your case, what is the case you plan to put it in?

The P5Q is a reasonably new and well featured motherboard - it will accept any modern dual slot graphics card (including the gtx 295). Also, that 700W PSU should power the card just fine.
 
That case is plenty big enough to accommodate the card and the PSU has available twice as many PCI-E connections as you need and more than enough power. All looks good from where i'm sitting :)
