Apprently i was off my budget bit(by $1000 haha.) So i had to come up with a new rig.

I think i did pretty well for the price, i still have about $40 extra too so suggest something for that much or ill spend it on shipping.

^ Nice setup but you can consider these changes...

Mobo

PSU -

Graphics card x2 would easily outperform 4870X2 and costs less...and SLI scales well on x58 chipsets...

Certainly change the CPU cooler...

Thanks for the suggestions Gkay ill definatly look into changing the mobo but i want some more opionion too to see if they agree with you or not. ALso the ram link didnt work.

I would get that PSU but my cable managment SUCKS so i went with a modular.

I would keep the mobo, or get the deluxe, agree with the 2x gtx 260's, ram recommendation looks good too, Definately change the PSU to something like the Corsair 750 or 850 Tx

If your ordering soon then I advise you to keep the 4890.

$200 ($180 after rebate) http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=MSI-48901G

Plus you can use the promocode Sizzle15 to take off $15 which will make the card cost $185 and only $165 after the rebate that is a steal for such a great GPU. You can CF them and certainly outperform the 260's in SLI. Also just make both of them separate orders that way you can use the promocode on them both to save $30 instantly.
