Cant make my mind up

[Angus01]

I have been chewing over a new build for a few months see post

All I was waiting for was the benchmarks for the R600 against 8800GTX before buying.

With the lastest info looking like a late March release is there any point in holding off ?

This will need to last me a couple of years so could do with making the right
choice. (expert opinions welcome)

Also any comments on my 2 specs would be helpful as I am going to order this week if going with the 8800GTX.


Cheers

Option 2 is the definitely the way forward with that combination? Why?

I had lots of sleepless nights on researching and I've bought the following kit, which funnily enough is almost same as yours

E6300 Retail
Asus P5B Deluxe
Crucial 10th Anniversary
Corsair 520W
Sapphire X1950XT
Dual Dell 2007WFP's

If you follow my recent posts I was exactly in the same shoes as you. Never wait for technology something is always due round the corner. The 8800gtx will last you a fair amount of time and either way once overclocked, you will have one of the fastest mainstream PC's on the market.

Simple as that really

Enjoy your rig
