  Is this tigerdirect Canada?  Cause you paid a higher premium and got some bad parts.

  Getting an SLi solution instead of a single GPU is not a very good choice at that price range.  Dual GPU has always been flaky, and the rescent graphics card offerings have been stellar.  Those 2 put together don't match the performance of 1 card at that price range.

  Also you paid double price on that ram.  You could have gotten a 2x2GB kit for under $100.

   No, U.S. TigerDirect.com.

  And I swapped the two 9600s for one 9800gt superclocked for $119 ( after rebate ) instead.

  The reason I got four sticks of 1024mb instead of 2 2048mb ram was so I could spread the ram equally between all four slots. And by the time any games come out requiring 8 gigs of ram, I'll have upgraded the whole thing again anyway. lol

  I could have gotten some parts cheaper, but I've always had good luck with TD and it's easier when all the parts come from one place ( I hate hunting invoices/reciepts down later on if I need 'em ).

  Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The parts are not the best for the price and the prices WTF!!!

  edit: might of seemed a little harsh.
