welcome to the forum, looks like a very nice spec. very similar to what im hoping to get soon.

Very nice choice on the 64mb cached drive. I think i'd have gone for one GTX 470 now, with the possibility to add a second GTX 470 at a later date, rather than max out the board's SLI capabilities straight away. Still, nice spec

Great spec! What operating system are you installing?

I'll be using Windows 7 Pro (luckily get it free as I have access to free software since I'm a student ) and maybe partition an ubuntu or fedora linux if i get round to it..

As for the future proofing, since dual 460's are outperforming the 480 just now i thought it's a very good deal and I've heard good things of the 460gtx, as for the future... when the time for upgrading comes well I will cross that bridge when i hit it but hopefully won't be for many years!

@Sleinous - I know! I see you spread the 64mb love around the forums hehe, it's a good buy!

On a secondary, it's at pre production and has been for a wee while just now, so getting very excited!
