Hello 2 all the community.

I'm thinkin' about upgrading my pc, so I'm here 2 ask if my choice is nice and/or need something different.
Comments and help are welcome.

Case: The one I have (Thermaltake Shark, hope that's ok)
Mobo: EVGA X58 SLI Classified
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H50
Mem: Corsair Dominator 6GB PC12800 DDR3
Gfx: EVGA GeForce GTX 295 CO-OP F.T.W.
PSU: Corsair HX750W

Hum...... I think that's all.......

Thanks 2 all.

looks nice but why don't you get two 5770's, they are cheaper and would have about the same performance. Also i'd be looking into investing a case, that shark is a bit old/not enough airflow/no cable management ect. Other than that it is looking like a beast of a build

Thaks 4 the advice
Question......: But ain't the 295 the best 1? I'm just askin' 'cause I usually read some reviews of the gfx and from what I've read 295 is the best 1 'till now........ (single card), and I don't wanna make a bad choice........
Are U advising me 'cause of the money, the performance or R U 'n ATI 'guy'? (Don't get me wrong, ok?, hum..... sounds like that music...... looool)

Do U have some case in mind? (Hope that the 1 U're gonna advise exists here in Pt.....hehehe)

No in that case get the ATI 5870 (no I'm not a ATI guy, I'm just in the middle of choosing parts for my first build). The gtx 295 is a DirectX 10.1 (although a great single card), the ATI 5870 is so far the best DirectX 11 card out and its somewhat more future proof (if you have extra cash you can Xfire another). Just my opinion, don't burn me xD
Ohh and try to invest on a better case too, nearly forgot. If you do plan on going ATI then you will have to change your motherboard because apparently it (your EVGA X58 motherboard) doesn't support Crossfire.

Help and opinions wanted on my future build!

Well I'm personally thinking of getting the Antec Three Hundred (midi) but there are a lot of chouces out there. I'm taking that one because the review say is very worth its price, its big and the air flow is amazing. Ohh and its cheap; approx £40 (donno in US dollars $, lol). There are plenty of other cases with flashy lights/cathodes and 1 million cm fans (joking). Depends also whether you want a Midi-tower or a full/large tower (for more working room).

I'm currently happy with my co-op 295. If you want to go with another cased I would go with the haf 922

Just to note the 295 is basically 2 - 275 graphics cards in one. The 285 has more Vram then the 295 which is needed to run GTA 4 on max (so sli 285s are better then a 295)

everything looks good and I would go with what you have. Do you have a budget?

The GTX 295 is not the top anymore, 2x5770's beat it.

No Nvidia cards have DX 10.1, only 10.
