1. Looks good, well balanced

2. Wait a little, the price of that processor will drop quite a bit actually

3. DO NOT get the 7600GT in SLI, its incredibly pointless

Get ONE 7900GT or a 7900GTX instead, it will play any game on MAX settings and you can upgrade in the future.

how much longer should i wait, is it true to wait until end of july.

video card wise i was leaning that way but i just wasnt sure, now that someone told me ill go with the one card

Yes defitantly just go with a 7900GT or GTX. and wait tell the end of July all the prices on Intel and AMD will drop on their processors.

how much do you suppose ill save, save enough so i can purchase the 7900gtx and still stay under 2000 grand?

Yea its quite a good possibility. I am not sure on the exact price decrease but it will definitly help towards a better GPU.

X2's are supposed to drop 50% when the conroes are released. And I am also a pretty big fan of dell monitors but as of late I have been hearing of some light leakage problems that they have been having.
