[murdock22]

well this is my first build. I was wondering if some of the more experience people here would give me some feedback and see if there is anything that wouldn't work together. Please don't complain that i am using Canada Computers, i am only using them since they are cheap and one of the stores is close to me. Here is the specs, i would gladly take any feedback

I would wait tell the core duo 2 is out then buy this stuff cause all the procssors are going to go down in price when it comes out. I would not get sli in those cards it aint worth how much money they are i would just get a 7900GT or GTX and leave it at that. and then dont get that harddrvie just get a 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache it will be cheaper and you will get more harddrive space. and i cant find how many amps are on the 12 v rail on that page do you know were its at i reccemnd dual rails with at least 16 amps on each rail perferably more.

Is there a rough date when the core duo 2 is coming out? also 7900GT OC is going to be more powerful then two 7600GS OC?

July 23rd is when it is supposed to be coming out. and the 7900GT is supposed to be more powerful and then when you get more money down the road just get another 7900GT an put it in sli and it will be a good computer for gaming.
