Hi, im building myself a new PC my budget is pretty low only £350. I want it to be pretty descent at playing movies and gaming. Heres what I've got, opinions on it please. (all of it is from ebuyer)

I want an Nvidia gpu really but im not too hot on them, i want one with a veiw to go SLi in the future, all opinions would be great, could you try and keep it to about £70 for any suggested nvidia cards aswell, thanks :)

Only way you would use that much memory is if you turned up the detail in games. I don't think you can turn the detail up much anyway with a 2600XT so the 8800GT should be fine.

Please don't get a P5N-E SLI, they're ass. I had one and didn't like it at all. Get a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R instead.
