Hey all,

I'm getting a whole new computer for Christmas here are the specs:

ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe:
- NVIDIA™ NFORCE4 SLI - Intel Edition
- Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
- 64bit CPU support
- NVIDIA™ SLI Technology
- Dual-Channel DDR2 667/533
- Fanless Design
- Dual Core CPU

Video Card

- Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX single...for now

RAM:

I was thinking OCZ or crosshair. Can someone please help me on this one? ( keep in mind that I'm going to be running 4 Gigs of ram )

Sound Card:

Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro

Thats about it for now until I think of more things to add. I've got $8040 in my account right now. So if you can think of a better system please help me out! My dad is really really started to hate me for upgrading every year. I think he might deport me next time I upgrade...lol. So its gotta LAST a long time like till Windows Vista SP3 lol no joke Very Happy. I was thinking about a server but you can't play on those.

Now that I think about it. Goooood point.

And SLI is worth it if you use it properly.

Crossfire by ATI is going to rape it disgustingly, but SLI is good.

AFAIK Crossfire isn't released.. I could be wrong. But ATI when releasing a NEW technology usually goes big or goes home.
