Yer monitor's way small ... as is the PS (400W) if you intend to add a
2nd 7800gtx at a later date (which is why SLI). I like my asus A8N-SLI
with Seasonic S12 PS (600W, all the right connectors). Maybe I'll get a
case for it one day. Here's a link ...
http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone2_build.html ... and good luck
with that. Ok, back to browsing for that new boat.


The case comes with a 400W ATX 12V 2.0 power supply with a PCI-E power
plug and comes with variable speed cooling fans. It was highly rated
(including the power supply) by a couple of PC gaming magazines and is
more than enough power as I see it, although I will look into the ps you
recommend.

Regarding the monitor, a 17" is all he needs, especially considering it is
a flat panel LCD. He can upgrade later to something bigger as I did want
to stick to a budget (I am trying to keep it at $2,000).

What are your thoughts on the motherboard, CPU and memory?
