Im thinking of either getting a xeon 3.4 ghz or Amd64 FX-53 to complay with a pair of nvidia 6800 ultra gfx cards connected via SLI. the amd is 250 more than the xeon but im open to suggestions as to why i should pick amd. The main uses for the system will be photo and video editing, gaming, and some 3d gfx redering with bryce and 3ds max
