Is ATi a safer bet? I heard they are faster and stuff...
the diff between ati and nvidia is ati does not melt.

Okay, I think I found something I want.. How is this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801
Will it work with my setup, and fit? It takes two slots, I just want to know if this is as good as I think it's. Great reviews and everyone says it's the fastest thing to having x2 4870's..
Is what I choose compatible with everything, so I am good to go to buy that with everything else I have?That video card you selected is good. I think the ATI video card I recommended is better value for your dollar. You won't be disappointed with either video card in my opinion.
I personally would go for the GTX 260 C216 Black edition by XFX. On most test it out performs the 4870. And some tests it out performs the 4870x2. Mobo, I would go for the ASUS rampage formula.
heres the 260

EDIT. I should add the rampage comes with 7.1 surround sound PCI card.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I will stick to one GFX card. Two is a waste to me, maybe in a future build when I move to i7-technology or better, in a year.Should be compatible, I would get this Motherboard instead though. Mainly because it has Crossfire support, so if you ever decide to buy another video card you will be set.

And do you have an OS you can use?
Two things sir.. Is the one you suggested (case) as good as mine, I picked mine for the GREAT cooling it provides.Case: XCLIO Windtunnel Case - $99.98
Power Supply: SILVERSTONE ZEUS SST-ST65ZF 650W - $69.99
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P - $129.99
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 - $289.99
Processor (CPU): Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 - $188.99
Ram: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) - $59.99
Hard Drive: 250GB Western Digital + External 250GB SeaGate (Free - Already Own)
All the chosen parts in this list are compatible. There is only one thing I would change on this list. Your case is good but it is overpriced. $100 is too much for a case.
Look at this case:
APEVIA X-Plorer ATXB8KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $50

Also, if you don't have a Windows Operating System installation disk you will need to buy one.

But no, I don't have a OS I can use.. That's expensive. I don't want to think about it, cause I'll have to get 64 edition, but I don't want Vista. I want XP-64 Professional.

And second, I don't have a 64 bit OS. So I am screwed, have to buy a over priced garbage disk. Since I shouldn't use my 32-bit version of XP-Pro.
