heh... if i had all that money i wouldn' buy vista... (mainly cuz its just piece of crap (for instance u cannot instal programs like deamon tools or alchohol120) and cuz u can get cracked version for... hm... free??)
but rather one more 8800GTX and then put them togeather in SLI...
all in all it seems fine to me... but i wouldn't buy that case...

in Croatia some things r cheaper (like cpu and ram) so there would be some money for that second gtx ^^

but this is your choice... im just saying what would I do...

Thats complete over kill nothing needs that kind of power. And I'm getting vista for crysis and DX10. It would be a waste to buy a DX10 card and not use it to its fullest.

@Recon: That case is WAY over used, I wanted something different.

And everybody knows GC does not encourage the use of cracked or unlicensed software, since it is illegal to do so. Enough said.

I'm guessing you didn't read the rest of the posts? Ive already bought the computer, built the computer, and now im getting troubles with the computer. It's at a computer shop right now for them fixing it.
