Hey, I want to build my desktop for the first time. I am looking for a gaming rig that cost around $1200.00 usd. Can anyone help me pick parts off of newegg that are compatable. I think with the help of this forum and some other sites I will be able to put it together. I am just unsure on compatable parts. Thank you for your time in advance!

If you wanna go sli, you need at least a flamingblade, the GTI is crossfire only:

If you got a second video card...I would recommend a 22" or 24" monitor.
Personally I would not buy 2 lower end cards...I would buy one high end card. Two of those cards will cost you about $250. Here you can get a GTX 275 for about $200 after mail in rebate. Then maybe in a couple months you save a little more money and then SLI the GTX 275

Or an HD4890, meets at stock, beats the 275 after overclocking:

+1:good: it will be better and cheaper and by the time you get ready for another they will have gone down in price so forget the GTX 250 and 275.

I third the 4890. Much better card than the 250 for sure, which is pretty much the only chink in the armour to Bodaggit's build, you won't be disappointed with that set up.
