Upgrading My PC
Just thought I would list my parts and see if anyone see's any potential show stoppers. Just one point I have to make: I don't play games on my PC thats what XBox 360's and PS3 are made for. With that said I am running SLI with two MSI PCIe GeForce 8500GTs. I'm running an Athlon X2 3800 now that I want to move and use as my Windows Home Server. WHS is currently running a 2400XP so it should be a little faster. I'm also wondering how performance will be over the X2. Of course I'm going to use my X64 Windows 7. I''m sure I will have to activate over the phone as I did not by Retail. I'm pretty sure I will be able to activate anyway. I think I have a 750 watt power supply its a good one so shouldn't be an issue. My budget was $300 bucks.
