I think i would opt with the antec, its cheaper. The 9800gx2 needs two six pin connectors right? You know if that antec has em?

I have the 8600 GT and it runs everything I've thrown at it and wanted to play at Full Settings (@ 1280 x 1024)

My 8600 can run Crysis at Medium settings with little to no hiccups.

Like I used to play at that with my 8600, and once u see the difference between the two, its like night and day.

I'm not talking about a 8600... A 9800GTX is going in that computer...

Oh sorry.
Yeah thats what you'll get with that card.
Medium is much more playable like 40-60 fps,
around 50 average

handles anything else like a champ

My rig:

Intel Core2Quad Q6600 (G0, OC'd to 3.2)
XFX 8800GT 512Mb
2Gb (another 2 gigs is on the way) DDR2-800


My rig can handle crysis at 1280X1024 maxed out at 60 fps. No hiccups, etc.

1280X1024 is not a small resolution, either.
Things I need to purchase for my NES Laptop:
1X PSone screen
6X 1.2v 3500mAh sub-C's
1X 1/8'' to RCA stereo Adapater
1X Radioshack repair kit

..yeaaaaah...
