Why the hell are you getting 2 different 7800GT cards, it won't work in SLi if they're different. Save money by just getting plain GT's, why do they have to be extreme editions? If your trying to save money why have you chosen a CM stacker? Could try the Mushkin 2GB PC4000 RAM, it's a little cheaper and OCZ ain't compatible with the DFI board.
Could try the Asus Crossfire and get a Sapphire X1900XT-X, it's cheaper than SLI 7800GT's and much better.
got it to this but still need a case OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC4000 Dual Channel Platinum Series EB-DDR CAS3 (OCZ5002048EBPE-K) (MY-058-OC) £194.95 £194.95 HD-050-WD Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 400GB 4000KD SATA 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-050-WD) £126.95 £126.95 CD-035-PO Pioneer DVR-110 16 x 16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Beige) OEM (CD-035-PO) £26.95 £26.95 CA-024-EN Enermax Liberty 620W ELT620AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CA-024-EN) £89.95 £89.95 GX-042-HT HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1800 XL 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-042-HT) £179.95 £179.95 MB-118-AS Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-118-AS) £119.95 £119.95 Subtotal £738.70 VAT £129.28 Total £867.98
First best way to save money would be 2GB of Geil Value instead if the OCZ. Also if your getting the ATI card why not go for a crossfire motherboard? Do you really need 400GB of hard drive space? The samsung DVD-RW is cheaper by a few quid as well and the one I've got has been find for all the media I've burnt with it. For a case try going with any of the antec ones. They are all reasonable quality. Also the 500w Enermax Liberty will be enough for this system. With only 1 hard drive and 1 graphics drive it will be plenty. Even adding a 2nd graphics card and hard drive wont be pushing it beyond its limits.
