Hi SoldjahBoy,
[quote:2yxbejnd]Why do you want 2 blu-ray burners?
Well one was a blu-ray Burner and one was a blu-ray play / DVD burner. But you got a good point on that the cost is very high right now and I should wait. If I just get a DVD burner drive and a DVD reader Drive I can save $200.00 - $300.00 and pay for the sound card. and upgrade the power supply to 1000W.
[quote:2yxbejnd]A can't stress enough though how much better the GTX280 is than ALL other GTX cards, including the latest GTX295's. The 280 kills them all.
I'm not entirely sure what price difference you are looking at between the 275 and 280, but whatever it is, it's worth it.
Are you talking about the just the 280 or the 285?
The nVidia GeForce GTX 285 is $110.00 more then the GTX 275.
The nVidia GeForce GTX 295 is $310.00 more then the GTX 275. from what they say the GTX 295 is two GTX 275 in one card.
As I just found out if you go SLI or CROSSFIRE you can not do dual monitor's. I think I will just go with the one nVidia GeForce GTX 275. For the money I don't see the GTX 285 $110.00 better.
