    sweet rig and really like the heatsink, you getting a graphics card to take advantage of SLI, i thinking of getting the Sparkle Geforce GTX 260 1792Mb DDR3 as the onboard graphics on this aint all that.

    The problem with the graphics card market at the moment is that nothing is really pushing the older tech to warrant buying ATI's 5000 series or nVidia's (not yet released) 300 series. But the older cards are not DirectX 11 compatible so you may be looking to upgrade the graphics card again in about 18 months when DX11 games start coming out.

    If you are interested in the nVidia 'equivalent' of the HD4890 you should be looking at the GTX275.

    At the min the Ati top end cards are just better all round than the geforce, which is a shame as i have always liked geforce.

    I shant be buying it for a while anyway so it may change by then

    What you could really do with is a nice Nvidia 285 GTX, at the price Sic and me got it for(?5.73) I think it was. Hidden Content
    I have still never really seen the point of dual, triple or even quad graphics cards? Apart from the ridiculous expense I dont know how people manage to get them in a case, unless it's a converted wheelie bin! If not for companies profiteering one DECENT card should be able to do everything you need, well.
    Looks like a nice setup you got there now Chim. I've got the Antec 900-2 case, which is the same but a bit smaller. The cooling fans are great and the cases seem well made and quite easy to work in. Hidden Content
