I have an ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX mobo coming tomorrow (along with the rest of my new gaming rig parts ... WOOT!) I have a floppy drive, but I'd rather not take it out of my current machine and install it in the new rig JUST to flash the BIOS if I don't have to. Can I set the...

I dropped the PS down to the 650w that GuitarDaddy advised....Good call. Thanks! It seems that there are A LOT of people using that PS for SLI setups so I'm confident that it'll be enough. Also, since I 'saved' money on the mobo and the PS, I had enough to add a 2nd 8800 GTS in there. WOOT...

I just changed my mind again ...... now I'm looking at a 750i SLI mobo, so I have future room for another 8800 GTS 512, and getting DDR2 1066 RAM. I think that 750w PS is needed, if I get a 2nd 8800 GTS ??

Seeing that the prices for the new nVidia cards will be $400-$600, there's no need for the eVGA step-up, cuz I ain't spending $400 on a video card. So .... I chose the MIS version thats the same price without having to mail in a rebate. Also, since there's a slim to none chance that I buy a 2nd...

Thanks for the advice! As for the mobo, I'm still on the fence regarding the vid card(s). I 'may' go with 2x 8800GT and need the SLI and the bigger power supply.... but maybe I'll stick with the AKIMBO. What mobo (company & model) would you recommend for NON SLI? 250GB hard drive is...

EVGA's step-up program? Sounds like a good thing. I'll head to their website to see if there is any info on it. Anyone have anything good/bad to say about it? Anyone have any issues with the mobo, ram, case, ps ? I guess since no one has said anything bad, I'm hoping that they are a good...

Dual threads cuz I screwed up. Sorry :(

Dual threads cuz I screwed up. Sorry :( MODS ... can you merge this post and the other by me?

WOW ... really? I guess the 8400 will also be dropping? When you say Q3, is there a firmer date? I ask because the window of opportunity for me to order parts is fairly short. If the price drops in July, I think I can hold out. If it's not until the last week in Sept, then I doubt I can...

Edited again ... New mobo and vid cards this time ... how's it looking?? Thanks...you guys/gals rock!!! 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. => GAMING 2. What YOUR budget is. => ~$1300 3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from. => NEWEGG.COM 4. IF YOU have a brand preference. =>...

I don't plan on overclocking, but if I do in the future, I read many reviews that claim the 3.16 is the easiest to OC......compared to the 3.0.

Thanks! I'm keeping my eye on the vid card situation and a friend of mine also said the same thing. As for the SLI, I don't have the $$ for two vid cards, but eventually, I'd like to get a second. So I'd purchase the mobo with an eye on the future. I didn't select the 790i SLI mobo because...
