If not, tell me, and i'll replace the part then update it and post the specs again. Im about to shell out around 2grand for this pc, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

1: You don't need a dedicated NIC, unless you need dual ethernet ports for some reason. Get rid of it.

2: The X-Fi Xtreme Audio is nigh on worthless, and Creative's drivers aren't playing nice with Vista right now. I'd ditch the sound card for right now if budget is tight, or spend a little extra on the ASUS Xonar DX.

3: That's an LGA771 heatsink, and most likely won't work on an LGA775 board. Even if it does, I wouldn't use a passive cooler for a Q6600 in a desktop rig.

4: The 9800GX2 is just generally a poor card right now. I'd get a cheaper and better card like the 9800GTX or HD4850 instead.

5: Along with the graphics card, the power supply can be cut way back. A good ~650w unit is plenty for even a reasonably high-end SLI setup. Granted, you won't be running GTX 280 cards in SLI, but you should be good with most cards.

6: Don't pay money for a case/power supply combo, that's just wasting money.

So what power supply would you reccomend for sli HD4850s?
what motherboard(s)
RAM?

etc etc?

SLI is Nvidia only, it's called Crossfire with ATI cards. The Corsair TX650w or PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 will both do the trick. For the motherboard, I'd get an X38 or X48 chipset board for sure, since the HD4850 actually uses more than the x8/x8 bandwidth offered on the cheaper P45 chipset boards. RAM doesn't have to change. Nor enything else really. Maybe get a case with better ventilation.

So will that do? ^^^

Although im using Asus and ATI, can i stick with an intel processer? or should i go to AMD?

You just took a step backwards compatibility wise. Pick up an X38 or X48 chipset LGA775 socket board. Not AM2, not AM2+, just LGA775. Or search by chipset, the X38/X48 chipset is Intel only.

And the two HD4850s are cheapers than the 9800gx2, but will they out perform it?

oh and should I stick with XP home edition for now (thats what i'm running)

or go straight to vista?
