Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.83 ghz

800 watt psu from cyberpower (its a decent psu, it can run quad sli)

(3-Way SLI Support) EVGA nForce 780i

4 GB mushkin

EVGA GTX 260

I'm trying to come to a final decision and I want to run two 260's so would that PSU be good enough? Its a decent psu i just don't know if it'll run two of those cards.

Where would you suggest buying from. Cyber power seems to be the cheapest on the internet. This is my first build so I don't want to build a rig myself. I'd rather shell out extra money knowing its gonna work otherwise I might break something if I built it myself.

I'm customizing more than building. I know what parts I want but I don't want to "hands on" build it myself. I just don't know enough about computers to do so.

Everyone on this board has made the jump, you can find plenty of help online and on this forum, just buy the parts and you can do it.

dude it's so easy. you'd be surprised lol! plus you have friendly forum tech support to back you along with saving a good portion of money buying your own parts. maybe someone will drop you a system build if you're looking for one.

I don't want to run quad sli. I just want to run dual gtx 260's. Anyways I think I'm gonna buy the parts seperatly and build the rig myself.

Wish me luck!

In that case, save your money and get the evga 750i FTW motherboard. The only difference between the chipsets is that you get a few less ports and only 2 PCI-E slots. The awesome thing is that the cooler on the chipset could cool your processor... I run mine at 1600MHz (overclocked from 1066). And I've read that with a bios update, the motherboard can reach a bus speed of 1800MHz!
