Hey All,
Unfortunately my PC decided to blow up last night, and due to the fact that it's about 3 years old and almost at that point of replacement. I've decided to construct a new one rather than invest in running repairs.
Hardware not being my forte' I was hoping I could get some decent opinions from those of you here that are experts on the subject. I only need the core pieces as I'll be re-using some of the staples from my old box.
Also note: Ignore prices, they're in $AUD and probably wouldn't mean much to you Budget if I was buying a full PC would be around 2k (AUS). The total of the bits I put together is $1362 which I think is about right considering what I'm leaving out.
Motherboard - ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard

Case - Antec Dark Fleet DF-30 Case

Also on my mind, to SLI or not to SLI. I have a friend who swears by it, but he's one of those overly obsessed PC gamer kinda guys who have to have the superest of the super. The card I'm looking at isn't bad by any means, and I figure it'll do what I need, but my friend says otherwise and I'm not entirely inclined to believe him, so eager for other opinions.
Thanks in advance!
