    you may consider that you have 32 gigs of ram and 2 quad core intel xeon 3.0 ghz...yeah i am talking about macpros.

    its too late to think about th is expensive sh*t since my ordered pc alread came:

    NZXT Zero Aluminum Full Tower 420W Case (Black/Silver Color)
    CPU: (Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit

    VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 16X PCI Express (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)
    VIDEO CARD 2: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 16X PCI Express (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA)
    HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)

        Re: a question

        I'm lost....

        And you intend to run 2 9800 GTX's on a 420 watt PSU?

        Good luck with that.

          I hope you have a better PSU or your nice investment is gonna be a smoking one. And not smoking fast. Smoking dead.

              I would say s 8800 gts's, but really....

              neither! because you're not going to visibly see much of an improvement, unless you have a massively large monitor and your playing crysis.

              The human eye can't detect the difference between anything abouve 60 FPS I think.

              It is just overkill and a waste of money, but you have your answer


              BTW, using Newegg's wattage calculator . You're PC under "my system" requires 773 watts

              Essentially... you'll probably fry your PC as soon as you plug it in.

                  Re: a question

                  WOWOWOWOW 1600USD thats not bad, lolz, 2*88GTS are fine, i presume they are the 320MB/640 ones amirite?

                  so therefore they are the G80 chips (and the 88GTS 320/640 can are the entry level of high end if not mistaken) u are better off with the 98GTX not GX2 or the 88GTX, u can OC the GTX to match up with the Ultra or the 98GTX or so i have heard. hehe i have a large poster of Cyberpower items on sale, and the one ur buying is not bad at all i would have bought it myself if they delivered to the UK cuz that price is quite cheap!

                  The procs is awesum i have it, its quite a nice improvement for a good price, and your mobo is fine, ram is ok, 2 98s are better than two 88sGTS ( Unless they are the 88GTS 512MB ones (G92) ).

                    well i thought it was available? http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/

                    i did it like this:
                    ordered it to new york then a friend of my dad sent it to hamburg then it came to bremen where i was to take it..
                    and yeah i prayed whole week that it wasnt going to get lost or broken or sth:laugh:

                    well its nothing compared to a 2xquadcore itel xeon 32 gigs ram 4 98gtx of mac pros..its overkill for sure but hey just dream

                          You buy something from the US and get it delivered to the UK, Gordon will slap £30+ import tax on it.
