    i was wondering if i should get twin 7600 gt videocards runing sli obviously or a single 7900 gt 512 videocard from nvidia. Price is no problem since each set up would cost approximatly the same. also i will be using the rig for gaming with hl2 and bf2 along wiwth older games such as diablo 2 and medieval total war. thanks

    I'd go for the 7900 GTX option as you'd be able to add another as it starts to struggle with more power games in teh future :thumb:

    I'd also go with the 7900gt as adding a second card in SLI only offers like a 30% speed increase, and like Fr4nk said you could always add a second 7900gt in the future.
