Are you really going to need that much storage? Do you really need 6gb of ram?
Think about a physics card instead of all that ram.

Yeah it's nice, and I'd say go for it if you can afford it, since a machine like that should last you years.
Prices on the 4870 should drop when the new NVIDIA card comes out.

Yeah, need backups of my backups of my grannytranny stuff. 5.89 gig of ram is just not quite enough. =))
I still haven't seen any real use for the physics cards. And the GTX295 is already out, and cheaper than a 1 gig ram 285 for some reason :|

BFG Tech GeForce GTX 280 H2OWE - GeForce™ GTX 280 GPU w/1Gb GDDR3 & PCI Express x16 Retail Box $730
BFG Tech GeForce GTX 285 OC - GeForce™ GTX 285 GPU w/ 1024Mb GDDR3 & PCI Express x16 Retail Box $475
BFG Tech GeForce GTX 295 - GeForce™ GTX 295 GPU w/ 1792Mb GDDR3 & PCI Express x16 Retail Box $615

Very weird pricing. Considering the 295 is the brand new card.

... get a GTX 295, cheaper and beats the 4870x2. i7 920 is on sale for ~$300.


Are those Canadian prices. BTW you don't need a physics card if you get Nvidia GPU, supports PhysX with drivers.

Hmm, yeah, little bit better prices, I use <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pccanada.com/">http://www.pccanada.com/</a><!-- m --> (etobicoke) only like 20 mins from my house. If I have any trouble I can take something back same day with no hassles. Good deal though.
