thanks

but also would just one 9800GTX be a better option

Than putting 2 9800GTs in SLI? Yes and no. For gaming, it will probably give you a few more frames per second, but it will also cost more and consume more power. My one 9800GTX is great but I just wanted to future proof my computer for upcoming games and Crysis. Are you a hard core gamer or do you just play the occasional MMORPG every once in a while? You have to consider this to justify spending so much time, money, and effort with these kinds of things. Plus that will put you over your budget too...always consider that.

Haha no not that kind of hard core! I mean do you play a ton of games and always the newest games kind of thing? If you all you do is play WoW and COD4 once in a while, then you're fine. If you play Crysis and want to play the newest games coming out in the 6 months, you will be able to, but probably not on very high settings with just one 9800GT. I'm sure you'll be able to play something like COD6 just fine once it's released.

Wow... and you're giving advice on hardware because?? Seriously...


I've bought things from NCIX all the time. They have 4 stores across Metro-Vancouver, and their shipping is reasonable because they don't use crappy UPS. I've also have tons of friends that I recommend them to NCIX and they never went back to any other store.

If you buy from their weekly specials, the big huge honking picture on their home page, you'll find very nice and cheap deals.

Not sure about having stores in Toronto, but I think they have a warehouse over there.
