    I got a new computer for Christmas!

    Finally caught back up with technology!

    Antec P160W
    Enermax Galaxy DX-X 1Kw PSU
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz
    Asus P5K3 Deluxe w/ WI-FI SOLO
    OCZ Platinum 2GB GDDR3 PC3 14400
    Dual SLI BFG-Tech Geforce 8800 GTX Factory Overclocked to 650mhz (from 575mhz) and Watercooled
    Silver Koolance EXOS-2 Water Cooling Kit
    SATA Seagate Barracuda 250gb
    2x SATA Hitachi 750gb
    Sony Blu-Ray Player/Burner
    Plextor DVDRW

    Freakin, I can't seem to find the SLI bridge in the asus box though. Guess I will be taking a trip to fry's tomorrow.

    Looks like a nice setup, only thing I would change is the RAM. I'd upgrade to 4GB.

    The SLI bridge should have come with the video cards.

          What operating system are you running? Not all can support 4GB of RAM.

              Wrong. It comes with the motherboard due to different spacing on different boards. The video cards might come with generic ones that wouldn't fit anyways.:p

                    Nice! That's a massive PSU too! I haven't upgraded my PC in a long time, still has a full server atx case that's now 5+ years old. EVERYTHING else has been upgraded many times though. (p4 3.0e, 2gb ddr3200, 2x200gb ide, 16dvd burner, 128mb agp 8x 9800 pro card and m-audio delta soud card). Next PC is going to be MUCH smaller, with as little fans as possible (fanless psu, fanless video, possibly fanless cpu cooler, one hdd in the case, plus nas in a remote location to make it as quiet as possible) .

                      What on earth do you need a 1k psu for?

                      Why didn't you get a raptor 10k for your boot hdd that runs programs? That shit would load up faster than I can post.

                      Did you just buy the most expensive things you saw? Anyways that thing must be a monster eh?

                        I didn't buy anything, my dad's into computers and bought everything for Christmas.

                        He gets certain things for below cost, so I just cross my fingers.

                        My last computer I was using up until yesterday was a 2.0ghz P4 with 1gb RAMBUS and a 128mb AGP Radeon All In Wonder

                            Do you have any idea how power hungry those video cards are?

                              They don't need that much power, a nice quality 750w could run that system without issue.

                              I agree with the above posts as well, it needs more ram as well as a Raptor boot drive.
