Default need some opinions

my next build is coming up around Christmas and i need some advice.

mainly used for Gaming/Folding

Right now my idea is:
Phenom II X2 550BE
MSI NF750-G55 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066
in my haf 932 with my current optical and hdd

my question is should i get a GTX 275 and 2 9600gso's or should i go with sli GTX 260's and 1 9600gso.

Hi, I would get just one gtx 275 and call it a day. I don't think there is a need for a 275 and 2 9600's. Unless of course I'm missing something here? If you really feel the need to run sli, I would go with two gtx 275's and if you can't afford that, I'd go with two GTX 260Core 216's.

SLI the GTX 275s, and keep on 9600GSO for folding 24/7

Best of luck.

I say the 5850 would be a better value than any of the aforementioned setups.
