    Hey guys, I just joined this site. I am going to be building my first computer once i get my taxes back. I have researched everything and am just about done getting the components i want. I just have one thing left, my video card. I am currently looking at the Twin Frozr GTX 570 or 2x Twin Frozr GTX 460 SLI.

    I just was wondering what your guys opinions on the matters were.

    CPU: Intel i7-950
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
    RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Radioactive 6GB (3 x 2GB)
    Case: HAF 942 X
    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
    Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200 RPM
    SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 80GB SSD
    PSU: Seasonic Gold X760 (possibly 850 if needed)
    DVD: SONY Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive
    Wireless: Belkin F5D8055 USB 2.0 Wireless N+ USB Adapter
    Keyboard/Mouse: Any suggestions? Don't want to spend a ton.

    SLI of 460 will do the best job almost like the GTX 580 and the same power as the Radeon 6970

    I can confirm that. I would SLI. You'll have a beast of a machine...
    How beastly? You're game characters will pop out of your screen. Yes, without a 3D monitor....

    Definitely 460 SLI! Here's why:
    1. Cost!!! the 5xx series is nothing more than a fancy, not worth the money for the (not much)performance hit
    2.Better results, as one card can focus on PhysX :)
