For now, this is what I have. I still have not decided on the power supply, fan etc. Suggestions are welcomed. In regards to the power supply, would 850W be overkill. I thought i'd go for 850W, just incase I did end up running all 6 monitors (3 GPUs). Guys, once again, thanks for posting all the information and promotions. I think I'll be able to put this up within budget !!!. Once I get all the parts, I'll post pics of the system being put together, just like Tiki did, if that helps anyone. I'll also report on the speed and stability of the system.
I have the same thought as Tiki. And I don't have any experience with it. Perhaps Google for some CrystalDiskMark performance metric on the disk drive (read/write speed stuff) before you decide. At any rate, looks like if you want this model you can get it at Newegg for $100 instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591
You can certainly do 4GB. But I think for the extra $25 or so, I would beef it up to 8 GB. More memory is always better. Especially with Win 7. 4 GB may be marginal expecially if you use their default visual schemes (need extra CPU power and memory to support), or a lot of apps running, or loading many charts. This will be a $25 well spent.
If you think you are going to get a third card sometime for sure, then I would recommend getting it now. $39.99 is a good price. It will save you the hassle of having to shop for a compatible one and test it if you can no longer find this model. (But do test all three of them immediately as you receive them.) For now you can use the third card as a spare. I myself use 4 x EVGA 8400 GS for my box #3. They work okay. Can be had for as low as $19.99 each. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1BGNR10WAKDZWE9PVTGT
I am so hooked on this deal, but it's an instore pick-up (nearest store is in GA). I have to call them to see if they will mail it out for a small fee (free would be nice ). I have tried Amazon for a price match, but they can't do it on this item. Do you guys know anywhere that does price match? ***Note: If this is bought as a bundle, you get another $40 off your mobo!!!
I got the mobo and CPU. I have a friend picking it up for me. Guys, thanks for posting that deal. It saved me about $75. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3254248.png">
