$900 budget computer
Gotta help a friend build a computer with a budget of $900. Only need the components and no dvd-burner. He wants to go ATI. and maybe be able to Xfire. What would you suggest?

CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...5045&Tpk=E4700 Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128059 RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098 GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127333 X38 motherboards are expensive, so I suggest getting an SLI motherboard if you want dual video cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131232 9600GT scales very well in SLI better than the 8 series |

I got my system for $553 shipped, without a case or PSU, so add that up and you are looking at a nice build for around $900.

Perfect build. Now for the price, that RAM is really good but you might wanna get something better such as Crucial Ballistix or Kingston Hyper-X I guess. And a single GPU such as the 8800GTS
