Well,

Did some upgrading (aswell). First i bought this nice case :


then i bought following pieces (and what they replace)


Intel Core i7 920 (C2D E6320)
ASUS P6t mobo (ASUS P5N-e Sli)

X58 Chipset, triple channel ddr, 3 way SLi /Crossfire support etc.

3x2GB OCZ Plat. DDR3-12800 (4x1GB OCZ Plat. DDR2-6400)

thats already built in.

In 3 Weeks i'll get a GTX 285 to replace one of my 9600GT's (keeping second for physix lulz)

(obviously i kept my SATA2 HD's etc)

on a ACER 22" 1680x1050 Screen.

oh and i finally installed WINDOWS 7 (First new OS since 2001 lol)

I'm afraid to ask but..how much did the 285 cost you? So not worth more than 250 euros, and I still haven't seen em under 330 Sad

And yay for Windows 7, welcome to a Microsoft product that is NOT a complete piece of failing shit Very Happy
Not that Vista was that bad, but XP was at launch, and I've been pulling my hair out with VS2008/2010 and .NET this week, WOOHOO Sad

Why not 5870? And I don't get this
3x2GB OCZ Plat. DDR3-12800 (4x1GB OCZ Plat. DDR2-6400)
You currently have DDR2? And you are planning to buy DDR3 or?
EDIT: I got it! In the brackets is what you have...

Regardless of how big of an NVIDIA fanboy you are, right now there's nothing worse to do than buying NVIDIA cards.

1. You're paying too much
2. They're preparing for the Fermi release
3. As a result of #2, the GT200 series has been discontinued, if your card breaks you'll be in major trouble, as you might not be able to get a replacement part without paying extra for the new Fermi cards.

I suggest you either wait a few months and go for Fermi, or get over your ATI hate and go for ATI Wink

Good luck replacing that turd if it breaks in a few months. Discontinued products = turds, regardless of the brands and how good they might have been at some point. Either wait for nVidia to come up with something new (March at the earliest Laughing) or look elsewhere.
