building a computer

Name: Anonymous 2006-05-15 8:37

I'm more or less new to computers and own a dell atm. =(
Here is the parts list that I made earlier:
2x 17inch monitors, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009036
case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156177
extra fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835129243
motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131540
memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145587
2x sli 7800gt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121004
cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103603
soundcard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102003

The prices add up to about 1500 with the two monitors, I have speakers, keyboard, and a mouse.

Including things like wires and such, what all do I need to consider/know about/buy along with all this. Or maybe any suggestions to replace some of these parts with similar priced products that might perform better with that set up?

Any help appreciated.

They do NOT cost less than most graphics cards. At $290 US for the cheapest ones on newegg, most cards cost less than the 7900GT. Quite a bit less. An X1900XTX is about $480US. So one 7900gt is cheaper than one X1900XTX, but 2 certainly are NOT. Unless you mean two X1900XTX in crossfire, which should be faster than your SLI if one is only 20% slower.
