1. Looks good, well balanced

2. Wait a little, the price of that processor will drop quite a bit actually

3. DO NOT get the 7600GT in SLI, its incredibly pointless

Get ONE 7900GT or a 7900GTX instead, it will play any game on MAX settings and you can upgrade in the future.

Yea its quite a good possibility. I am not sure on the exact price decrease but it will definitly help towards a better GPU.

X2's are supposed to drop 50% when the conroes are released. And I am also a pretty big fan of dell monitors but as of late I have been hearing of some light leakage problems that they have been having.
