I'm also planning on waiting a couple more weeks for the new Nvidia series to come out in hopes that other prices will drop a little bit. If anyone thinks they could build something better or tweak this build with around a $1700 budget please let me know. Thanks

If your going to be getting the new Fermi Nvidia card you'll need a power supply around 1000 watts.

If you just get the 2 cards in your list already you should get something around 900 watts.

hey i just purchased a computer, was $1650, little under, was a i7-930 processor with a 5850 radeon graphics card, also i had a few add-ons like nice keyboard and gaming headset. Might want to consider this. Also, It came with the HAF 932 or 922 option.

I also got the 750W Corsair with it, included in price
