I bought a second …
I bought a second 8800 VGA, G. Skill 4gb ram, and a 2nd 500Gb HD. Well the 4gb took 2 weeks to get here becuz USPS lost it?! And it was defective when i got it. And i also decided to go with a 9800 gtx+ instead of the SLI.

My PSu blew after i put the 9800 in. Bought a 700 OCZ gameXstream. And also sent the G skill back and bought a 2nd set of 2x1gb Reapers.
