What do ya think?

 

[Neuromancer]

Yes. thats a flagship AMD PC.

Although mixing the card brands.. Did nVidia change something too allow their cards to be used for physX when a ATI vendor string is indentified? Last I heard there was hack around it, but it was written out in further driver updates.

I think if you want dedicated physx, just go with 2 nVidia cards.

 

[xoke]

Yes. You could probably get away with an 850 watt psu, as long as its quality.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Why the 9800? I understand you want to run physx, but an 8800gt would do plenty.

 

[Bobnova]

You have to use hacked drivers for physx if you have an ATI card in your system. Nvidia is a pain in the rear like that.

very nice build drooling a little here

personally though i'd get abit more memory 6 or 8gb. As 4gb is fine atm but it is behind the specs of the rest of the PC really.

if you want a PC that is fine for the moment you can do it a lot cheaper.

Also I would look at the ATI pipeline - a few months ago when I was looking there was already rumors of 6XXX series. I would be gutted to buy a 5970 then a few months later it be outdated. (dont get me wrong it still could be ages away - Im not uptodate with gfx cards atm, I stopped reading up on them after the 480 release.

finally, very nice SSD but I like having 160gb - so I can install a selection of games etc. My storage is just for films+music+pictures etc (and a backup of important documents)

I surpass 80gb very quickly myself by the time windows etc+a few games are installed. Games aint small anymore (i.e. sc2 is 12gb)
