get a single 7900GT over the 2 7600's. a single 7900GT is just as good if not better than 2 7600's. When the time comes to upgrade, get a second 7900GT....

and in my experiencez(I build gaming computers for a living), valueram is never that good. If you can afford it (by only getting one video card) go for some OCZ or Corsair non valueram.

Ok so There is buffered, un-buffered, Ecc...non-Ecc....
I don't understand shit about this...
I'm putting 2000 of my own money in it and since it's one of the most important component for gaming, I don't want to invest for nothing if I'm putting 250 for DDR2...might as well get something who worth it

way to much for what your paying... get a conroe man, an E6600 beats the FX62 and costs around 350usd... and your ram is way overpriced... 260 bucks for cas 3 ddr400? i can get ddr2 800mhz cas 4 for around 200bucks... btw. your system is AM2, ddr ram wont be supported.

They were until Last week.

Times are a changin....

The Conroe stuff is awesome... Still waiting on my E6600 though.... B/O

WHile the Pair of 7600 GT's are good.. Even better than a single 7900GT.. You are done there.. No upgrade unless you replace the cards..... Get the One 7900GT or ATI X1900GT

i would suggest you get a 1900xt since the prices are dropping after the release of 1950xt. and the current conroe mobos dont support SLI
