I have 4 GiG's of ram the burn in didn't show it and my hd 80 gig i didn't have the money to buy the sli cards at the time so i just got a radeon x800 and now im wanting to upgrade my video card's
too two Geforce 7900 gtx but my power supply is 550 antec and i seen alot of things on how much power it use's and things in SLI so im conserned about that im also getting a X-FI soundblaster Fatal1ty cause i heard it helps games and sound would be nice sense i have surround and im running on board sound

but i seen recently this new card XFX nVidia GeForce 7950GX2 1GB 520MHz 2DVI/HDTV PCI-Express Video Card says its like two 7900s stacked on one that uses one pcie slot and less power im just guessing on that

i guess what im wondering is will i have enough power right now im having a heat problem with my prossor its kinda high need to blow it out also could help im just running a 120MM intake and 120MM out take fan i was going to also get two side fans for my case its a silverstone case it has two side fan places and another place to put a fan near the harddrive its a big case and i dont think its getting enough air flow right now im going to buy a few heat sinks

but i was just wondering what u guys think about the power issue or really any suggestions about what i should get and why i've been stuck googling everything the past few days they said those cards get really hot too my house stays warm sometimes also but i can keep it cool ^^

also im using the cool n quite option with the AI stuff on the motherboard and the automactic overclocking stuff which i still dont understand alot about but im tryin to learn as much as i can about what im running to get a handle on everything i just dont want to bottle neck or overheat my stuff its happened before

Thanks for any replies and sorry about the sloppy writing or the lack of info im in a hurry got to be some where in 15 minutes @_@ Thanks again

they'res more too the computer just not enough time to post it all cooling ocing heatsinks Xp-90 looks nice anyone use it does it lower degrees from normal stock copper? this video card power thing has me confused anxity kills also at the time i got my computer was before i heard about the AM2 so i got 939 mb :/ seems like computers hate me sometimes
