Thank you very much Ninna and Kill, im sure the vid card is cheap (if that is what it is). Thanks!

Josef K. - Thank you very much for the info I had started a defrag and the malware too while I was checking the display settings since the screen is giving off a garbled look, not quite flickering but like thin horizontal lines distorting the images. Also the wireless isn't picking up my...

Well parents are in town for the week and there Dell Latitude D820 has a grainy screen, almost seems as if it is crashing or something and I am trying to figure it out for them, plus gain some knowledge on my own. Maybe the vid card is crapping out, also just outside the dell warranty by the...

When you take you computer in to the local repair shop for the standard "not running like it used to" fix what do they generally do? I mean this seems like a fairly standard thing that they do, maybe I'm wrong. Just trying to save myself the frequent obligatory $100 shell out for this...

Yeah that really isn't the point of this build so like you said, stick to the original plan. Anybody have any experience with this card? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5677104&CatId=1558 I kinda like the card that was already suggested with...

Not sure if there is any benefit to looking into finding SLI ready cards for this setup, I know that depends if gaming is a consideration but if I am getting a 4way SLI board and it may add $10 to each card then maybe I should?

Scataphagos - yeah I have noticed that mostly with the "computer" related guys. Always seem to jump right to insults so maybe they still have some "wasn't cool in high school" related issues.. The board, seems like it is only marginally more than the Gigabyte I was looking at and should be...

Ok, great info! That motherboard I have settled on has 7 PCIe slots link: http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=170-BL-E762-A1&pwindow=specs&family=Motherboard Family&sw=5 so those cards you suggested should be perfect, thanks again. So I wonder how that will play out now, I...

Alright, just got back from CompUSA and have the Thermaltake case (VH6000BWS), Corsair 850watt PS 80plus, and harddrive. Had to order motherboard and vid cards. Going with the EVGA E145-2062 motherboard, but still the PNY vid cards for basic display stuff. Can upgrade the cards later if I...

Good point, I have one in the HT hooked to my big screen that really makes some noise running charts on the 65", just a cheap comp when I am showing charts and need a bigger screen. Think I will go with your card recomendations, especially considering the noise, as well as getting the faster...

Ok so parts are as follows... Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133056 PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 MB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128422 CPU -...

Wow, great info! Yeah I should have been more clear. Thread started with possibly upgrading this old Dell, then possibly pulling these cards out for a new comp, to straight out new build after hearing some opinions and doing some research. I'll just keep this comp for back up and email etc.. off...

Ok I see, seems like Intel is preferred over AMD, plus the benchmarks I saw were very close or weighted towards Intel on the AMD1090t vs Intel 870k-875k-920k processors. I'm sure I wouldn't tell much unless I was gaming.

Sweet, 650w will do it? Intel seems like board will be more and the processor will be more, suprised to see the i7 Intel 875 ahead of the AMD 6 core 1090T. Sure the AMD 1090T will be more than adequete for what I need though, may just go that route.

I'll check those cards, good stuff, thank you! Are coolmax or rosewill PS's good?

That fire pro is great, thanks for the info!

Basically I'm looking between the Intel and the AMD on a motherboard with 4 PCI Express slots like the GA-890FXA-UD5 (AMD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128441 as mentioned or the GA-X58A-UD5 (intel)...

Thanks Scataphagos, appreciate the help!

That case is pretty serious. Never saw anything like that before, fan wise. On the motherboard you listed, is that one I can add up to four or more video cards to? I was trying to select parts for a system on the cyberpowerpc.com site (couldn't find that particular motherboard) but used a P55...

Been looking at cyberpowerpc.com and pricing one of the $600-700 systems but keeps telling me the motherboard I have selected doesn't support more than 2 vid cards, I selected the GigaByte GA-890FXA-UD5 and it says it has 4 PCIexpress gen 2 slots, and 2 PCIexpress X1, not sure of the layout of...
