budget build $1000

[just a noob]

it seems im in need of a build, the only needs i have is something that can sli and has a q9450 in it, it will mostly be used for playing c&c3 and c&c kanes wrath, but the motherboard needs to have at least 1 pci slot for the wireless adapter

i assume you can use your old monitor/mouse/keyboard and dvd drive and case??
or does that need to be included in price

if your looking at a cheap sli soloution with maximum performance, then look at the 9600gt

sli for 237 dollar's!

as for motherboard, id look at the 750i

cheap and amazing overclock potential if you need too.

any particular reason you want the q9450? 12mb cache is tempting
personally, id get a q6600 or an E8400 for now and wait for something better for xmas. then upgrade.
