    Need help building new high-end computer

    Thanks for the responses. Sinn, that seems like a really good setup as well. I think one thing for sure is that I'm going with that GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R, and the 8800GTX. The 4GB ddr800 seems to be the better option. Question for everyone..is there any real performance difference between the...

    Best 17" LCD: 173P, 172X or 710T?
