- For the video card im thinking of waiting for the 7900 to come out or i might just get a 7800gtx 512 mb havent really decided yet...


But yeah thats everything, i think everythins pretty good. But a question about the heatsink... will it fit in the case properly when everything else is in there also? the case is a atx mid sized case. Any suggestions or opinions? Thanks alot.
 
yea i would think that the heatsink would fit.


as for your video card, if you dont want to wait for the 7900 you could get the x1900xtx which is the best card out right now.
 
That looks like an excellent system, and everything should work properly.

As for the heatsink, since you have a ATX case there shouldnt be any problem with getting the heatsink to fit correctly. As for the video card, i would go with the x1900XT 512MB, with a little overclocking it outperforms the 7800GTX 512MB and is several hundred dollars cheaper.
