No need to get mean with the guy man, he made a spelling error, haven't you ever done that before? Looks good to me, Id go with the 6800GT.

oh cut him a little slack

, it's not like the word isn't easily identifyable.

All your links are broken but based on the text desc it looks ok, I would probably go with 2 HDDs, one big HDD for programs and a second small HDD for OS/Swapfile.

all the links been fixed I copy and pasted then from a word document and I did not relize that they was shorten by word.

Definetly go with the 6800gt. The x800xl is pretty much the same price at Newegg as the 6800gt, and its suppose to be 300. If it was 300 I would suggest it, but its overpriced right now.

Nice system all-around, the MSI board there has had some issue with the chipset fan though .. nothing serious. You might also want to consider the DFI Lanparty NF4U and a pair of 6600GTs

... crikey them video cards are expensive .... and USD too!
