agreed anthraX, the FX series is well overpriced for the perfromance. The only reason they charge so much for it is because of the unlocked mulitplier, a feature which about 90% of fx owners dont even use. Save yourself a ton of cash and get a 3800 (not X2 in this case).

the graphics card is not overkill i dont know what anthrax is talking about if you want the ultimate system, uve got it
A 7800gtx is a great card, but if you have any sence you'll realise that a 7800gt of 6800U will be able to handle the top games at the top settings. Sure you can squeeze out a few more fps, but it's not like you'll notice. And to put 7800gtx in sli (as he is doing in his post) is like throwing money away, you simply will not be able utilise it, and by the time you can the 7800gtx will be a distant memory. But hey if you want bleeding edge performance

i managed to play fear on low to medium settings with my laptop so that is the most intensive game so you should be able to run it on full settings with out a problem.
No doubt, but he could play it on full settings without a problem on a rig that cost £1000 less.
Also ditch the sound card, onboard will prob be enough for all but the die hard music men.
