Im finally getting dual core! 
system is as follows...
Gigabyte 570i SLI AM2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 4000 x2
2GB Kingston PC5300
160GB WD Harddrive
DVD-Rom (already have dvd burner)
Cheapo Rosewill Case
Rosewill 550Watt SLI PSU 20A/18A dual rails
my dad didnt order a graphics card, but hey, i cant complain, all this for x-mas is gonna be awesome... but selling the laptop will allow me to get an 8800gt AND a 360! cant wait! ill keep everybody updated on the build when i begin...
one question, this mobo only has pci-e 8x in sli, 16x in single, should i do dual 8600gt's, one 8800gt, dual 8800gts's, or 8800gt w/ an 8600gt? im thinkin a single good 8800 but idk.. will pci-e 8x hinder my performance too much? ill give an 8800 and 8600 a try when i get it since i already have an 8600, so i guess ill know then, but any ideas until then?
