I would also consider getting this GTX 295 instead of the GTX 470 [url]http://www.unityelectronics.com/products/6084/BFG_nVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_295_1792MB_896_bit_PCI_E_2_0_HDCP_&_Quad_SLI_Ready_Video_Card_Dual_DVI_BFGESGTX2951792BE_Refurbished[/url]
Not sure if it is a reliable site yet. Still waiting for other PC builders opinions on it from the thread.
No, just get the 470.
I've heard the GTX 295 is better though. You just said to get the GTX 470. I need reasons on why it would be better (I'm not saying OP [i]should[/i] get the GTX 295, I just need reasons).
Higher in benchmarks, dual GPU, only problem is that is DX10, which is not a problem because most PC games are able to run down to DX9.

Okay, this build is pretty good, thanks. But I'd remove DVD driver, I already have one, I forgot to mention.
I'll probably go with this, but of course, if there is someone with better idea for it, go post.
BFG just liquidated so I am not sure you want to buy a 295 from them right now because if it comes broken there is maybe no warranty on it.

Yeah that is why I said "consider". Go with the GTX 470 I guess.

This is bad news. BFG was a great company.
Hell, my card is a BFG!

And Falco's build is solid so you can go with it.
