Power  B)

PCGEEK... why did you go with 2 6600GTs?  Surely your 6800GT would out-perform them...

You can have both a beefy PSU and have an attractive looking setup. Either way, the PSU is the most important component, and should not be skimped on.

Yes, I agree with you guys. I would take power over looks any day, but as we all prefer, good power and good looks together are always good too. ;)

Good power all the way.  If you've got a comp that looks really nice, but has bad problems because of lack of power, no one is going to care about the looks.

No offence PCGEEK, but why would you waste your money on two 6800GTs?  A single 7800GTX would perform much better and be cheaper. Unless of course you got some really good deal on them.

Also what PSU is that?

Whoa....you sure you want to waste your money buying so many things? Just stick with one solution man, instead of jumping around. But, if you have the money, why not just go for a 4800+, 2 7800GTX's in SLI, and more which would probably cost less than changing from a 6800GT AGP to 2 6600GT's in SLI to 2 6800GT's in SLI?
