I am trying to get a new pc for Grphic design and gaming one that will have enough power and not need any updates in hardware for at least a few years. I have been looking for a long time and figured prices are pretty good now. Here is what I have for the package so far: 1- COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution RC-830-KKN2-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case $199.99 1- BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOCE GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card $529.99 1- BFG Tech BFGR88640GTSOCE GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card $399.99 1- Thermaltake W0116RU Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version 750W Power Supply $189.99 2- OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P13332GK $799.98 ($374.99 each) 1- ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard $349.99 Creative 70SB046A00000 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series - $135.99 1- Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 Merom 2.33GHz Socket M Processor Model BX80537T7600 $642.00 I am not sure on the video card so both are listed but only need one of them and I am leaning towards the BFGR88640GTSOCE now. I read they get really hot so how do I counter this well (Fans)? Also on the CPU is this good or should I go with the Intel core 2 Extreme chip by Intel? Also for mother boards is this a solid board? I have seen some ABit boards that go up to 32gig this Asus goes up to only 8gb. The 2x4gb Memory is hard to find in DDR3 and pricy so I went for 2x1gig x2 for 4gig. Not sure if I need 4gig or not please respond. I want to run if worth it the Windows XP 64 bit or Vista but Vista is not even to service pack 2 so I want to stick with more stable OS like Windows XP Sp2 which I heard 3 is on the way next month. Ok chime in please ask any questions needed. Thanks
