Im thinking of building a new computer and would like some help in deciding which parts I should get
I was thinking of getting this CPU (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2643933&CatId=2758), these two RAM (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3079597&CatId=2368) sticks, and an nForce 680i motherboard (what is the difference between the A1 (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2945260) and T1 (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2945261&CatId=2014) versions of the board?)
I also need help on deciding whether or not I should get two of these (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3048552&CatId=1558) or a single 8800?
I am using tigerdirect to shop for these items because there is a store close by

wow..you have big budget,but it's your choice.I agreed with the processors.the motherboard looks same for me uh...buy both of the graphics if you can afford it..we gamers do like high performance isn't it? :P

My advice will cost you nothing :D
motherboard - the 2nd* T1 board you like is excellent, "lifetime warranty"! Like their GPU's* graphis cards, they have the best warranties in the tech buying Industry (BFG-too ! < ) for pc's...
Ram * no. buy the HQ sticks of G-skill here:

cpu* ??? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I would (still) get this cpu > E6600 ( U can oc to almost 4!)

most people will say Buy* A quad card...
maybe but I still would wait for the new cpu releases on this chip first before attempting a new build* The Penryn chip ? spelling ?
the best bargain Mobo right now with a built in Creative Hi-Fi sound card .. + 75.00 !s this which I would buy*

"Buy" the way .......... tigerdirect s OK* But newegg if the product is there or a reasonable alternative, usually gives a buyer a much better price* +
If you been here awhile and know about quit asking questions and do a "google" search first* 9 times out of 10, you will find an answer !
Reading about all the stuff you want to spend/ purchase money on.......Helps
GPU _ ANY* 8800 ( Nvidia) series .... with 640 of ram * get one 1 # card ......... its too expensive to run SLI dual cards so, get the highest rated 8800 card you like....
Best Luck
