Yeah, I posted this in my forum, but not everyone reads there and can comment.  :P What do you guys think? I have a stick of RAM and a power supply that didn't work, so I figure I'll send them back and get another one or two sticks of 1GB G.SKILL RAM.

Look solid, but personally I'd recommend a DirectX 10 card instead of SLI.

Why?

That way you won't have to upgrade once DirectX 10 games come out. It probably won't be for a bit, and I'm sure they'll make it so DirectX 9 works, but I like being ahead of the game.

Get a low end DirectX10 card for the same price. It's as fast as it's DirectX9 counter part in rendering DirectX9 and it supports DirectX10, the future of gaming.

1 GB of ram will serve fine. I'm running one gig on my machine has never been slow. No lag when gaming and I can run most games on high settings.

That power supply is iffy, it's generally not something you want to skimp on since it has a lot of current going through it. (Build quality=super important.) From the first few reviews it seems like it doesn't cool that well.

Get at least a 450 WATT PSU for that system. This is the ABSOLUTE cheapest I would go with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023


Here is a list of PSU brand names that are known to be good:

Antec, Cooler Master, Enermax, FSP Group, OCZ (who owns PC P&C), PC Power & Cooling (PC P&C), SilverStone, SeaSonic , Thermaltake, Zalman. These 10 are the best - but theres a few low-end models of these as well ($20~30) . Spend at LEAST $50 for a good basic PSU.

Hope that helps.....
