try 1 gig of ram...... (More then that is basically no benifit or very little) I may be wrong.... and if you have a GPU like that, Full settings and set unlimated frames..... What do you do? Gaming? Movie editing? etc... that also helps too.... I am not the best on a computer but I know enough to know somewhat what to get and what not to get.... You guys can correct me if I'm wrong! Cheers, Gunny

Congrats dude. wether you order or build a new computer is alawaies worth it. Also cut back to only 1G of ram and get a faster processer, or a bigger hard drive. You really dont need 2G unless your doing video editing, or playing Doom 3 maxed out, online, usuing Team speek, playing music, and watching a movie on your second monitor. infact I get away with doing this with my 1G (but faster processer) with no lag. so think about what is more important, being able to say "i have more RAM than you" or "i have a faster processer / better video card than you"
and who are you buying from? i suggest atleast looking at
www.ibuypower.com before going to dell or HP. Best yet just build yourself, but if your not sure you can IBP gives you the look and feel of self built without actually building it. they are also about $150+ less expensive than a mainstreem builder.
also AP (getting a little off topic) why did you waste money on SLI (disregard if you do video editing / high level graphics rendering) Personally I would have wated until ATi came out with the X800 in SLI insted of spending 1000$+ for the two 6800's also how mich lag do you get with that four G of RAM I know that you have a 15000RPM HDD but even still you should be expirencing (

Must be killer editing lol Cheers, Gunny
PS: When you get a computer that can do anything you want (or almost) You'll start doing a lot more, its an addiction that never stops..... I went from celeron to celeron for 6 months then finally my mom stopped renting and had one bought...... (POS to be truthful) Then I blew it straight up (Facial hair rubbed on ram and ZAP) 6 months later without a comp, I get this computer, I was getting every game I could! It seems common that people do that, Cheers, Hope this helps!

On a side note AP "wasted" money on SLI because he can say "My comps better than yours" and he can; that is most computer addicts dream.

Nice.
However:
There's no such thing as a LCD plasma screen. LOL. Its either plasma or LCD. I think you mean LCD cause plasmas don't come in that small of a size and LCD are the norm for computers.
For sound, you can use the onboard mobo sound. Your intel chipset should support basic srround sound which should be enough for you. If you really want good sound, you'll have dish out for an audigy 2 and some good 5.1 surround sound speakers. Get the audigy 4 only if your really into sound (its not worth it otherwise).

just get a decent motherboard, and use the built in sound. Sound cards havent made any leaps and bounds in the past few years, so my intagraded 7.1 card does the job very well, and even has the functions, and preformance of CreativeLabs etc.
