Yeah, it's compatible. Go ahead and get the A8N-SLI if you're getting it that cheap, too (MSI's single-graphics card Neo4 Platinum is about $160 at Newegg; I bring this up because it's very unlikely you'll really want to do 6600GT SLI in the future).

PSU might be overkill; how many drives do you have?

O___O

Be sure to send me a PM when they do.

 

[twitchee2]

ill get back to you about a year or so and ill send you a pm....that when im guessing they will be down that low

do u plan on o/cing that rig, cuz if u r, then save the $$ and go with a a64 3000+?

if u r gunna buy 2x6800GT's i personally would save the ~$100 or so and just go with a normal 6600 vanilla card. it will play the lastest gen games, and allow u to save the cash to buy the 6800GT's

[twitchee2]

no im going to b ocing and im going to get be getting 6800 for probly a year or so

 

[ddviper]

ok nvm if u rnt o/cing and u want a 3500+, then go for it, but i still stand by my $100 savings by going with a 6600 vanilla card

 

[Rip the Jacker]

YES

 

[ts3433]

A 6600 vanilla is considerably cheaper, but not by $100, and performance is significantly less than that of the 6600GT, though still adequate for todays games.

I probably wouldn't bother with 6800GT SLI in the future either; by then, equivalent or superior cards will probably be out for the same price or less.
