Is dual gtx 295's worth the $1300 price tag or should i just get one gtx 295 and overclock it, also would this be a powerful setup and would you recommend anything, i am thinking of buying a computer by Stealth
CORSAIR 1000W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready power supply
Intel Core i7 860 2.80 GHz (Quad Core) processor
eVGA P55 (Intel P55 Chipset) (Supports SLi) motherboard
G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) memory
Intel 80GB Solid state disk (SSD) First Hard Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache second hard drive
no RAID
two SATA 22x DVD dual layer burner w/ lightscribe optical drives
Internal network card
EVGA GTX 295 1792MB 896 (448 x 2)-bit GDDR3 SLi graphics card( or should i get dual, but a second one is $708)
use motherboard's sound card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (should i get it or xp or vista, but vista sucks *** in my opinion also will a lot of my hardware/and software work with w7 such as a DAZZLE Video Creator Plus with Pinnacle studio 12.1 and Sony vegas movie studio 8.0 platinum edition)
and should i overclock the memory and the processor(im overclocking the graphics card for sure)
PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW ABOUT COMPUTERS, I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SAYING" SORRY I DON'T OWN A COMPUTER"SERIOUSLY WTF WHY ANSWER IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AND THATS ALL YOU SAY, ITS RETARTED.
Thanks for your help|||The PSU is a good choice. You can't really spend too much on a PSU, and anyone who has built quality systems (especially gaming systems) will tell you never to skimp on it. The CPU is an excellent choice. I don't know which MB you've chosen but eVGA is typically good. You might consider an ASUS board though as they make quality OCing boards.
I personally think 8 GB RAM is overkill. Unless you're running autoCAD or other heavy multi-thread applications I don't think you're going to notice much of a difference between 4 and 8 GB, not for gaming anyway. If you do a lot of video encoding then it's probably worth it.
One 295 is plenty. In 12-18 months there will be another single card released that outdoes your SLIed 295s.
Almost forgot to add: stay with Windows 7. It's driver support is pretty awesome, I've been really impressed so far. The nice thing is that it just piggybacks off Vistas drivers, which means you have full 64-bit support right out of the box. And yes, it really comes down to Windows 7 or XP. You won't get nearly as much out of XP with a system like that as you will from 7.
One more thing (sorry): Make sure the box has good airflow. A system like that is going to take quite a bit of cooling. Lian-Li makes absolutely top notch cases, as does Silverstone.|||Your spelling of Retarded is retarded......
But yeah, looks like a good setup, and good luck with it. :)|||Agree with Scott.
Also wanted to Add... EVGA GTX 295 is not a Choice card now a days. I'm a die hard Nvidia Fan but Cost Vs Power

Shows the 4870x2 Card Costing less but Performing Better then the 295.
Oh and WIN 7 Preferred.
Another thing is no game uses Quad CPU... Crysis is the only game i've played that uses Multicore and even then it's iffy. Unless you need a Beast machine to Run CAD or Video Editing. Your not gonna get anything with that quad Vs the price you paid for it.
