Well I was thinking of building my own, but I have already done it 2 times so its not fun anymore. I have been way to busy. I get home fro work at 10:00PM and play BF2 till 12:00. ime to build. I just want to plug and play.

With that SLi config, I doubt you will need 2 gigs of RAM. Drop it to 1GB, and get an Audigy2 ZS for sound.

Or drop the SLi and get a 7800GTX.
