I think you should get a 640MB instead and drop the second card.

Agreed. Or if you can push yourself to a GTX, get that.

Here's a better motherboard for the same price. The ASUS P5NE-SLI, for 87$ OEM.
Socket 945 is not very well respected for overclocking. plus with this board you get tons of options, AND 1333 support, aswell as quad readiness and sli. what more can ya ask for?

I agree with Coma and Empty. It would be best to get the 640MB version or a GTX instead of a second card, even for dual display. you w ill get a lot more performance out of it.

That PSU gives me the willies. The rest seems ok, although even with one 8800 you will be able to do dual monitor.

Suggest getting a 640MB.

not sure about Crysis, but Halo 2 runs on High setting with 2xAA @ 1280x1024 (though a bit laggy) even on my Sempron Vista computer (in my sig)

agree with everyone else, the mobo and PSU seems a bit weak.
