    $1500 gaming rig with room to grow...please help with my 1st rig

    yes but the 8800 GTS didnt have the hd capabilities that the even cheaper 8800 GT got later on. I was originally going to run 2 8800 GT's in SLI but the single 9800 seems to do well and if i need to do 2 in a few months I can.
