Aright. I need a new computer and I am building my own. And I was wondering if I put Dual 8500GT 256mb in SLI mode that I would need 500 watts or 700 watt power. Also will this work good with vista and DX-10. Also I am putting in a AMD dual core 3800, 2 gig memory sticks, thermaltake cpu fan. I am also getting a DX-10 compatable 19" monitor.

This is everything that will be in my Computer.

Get at least a 700watt power supply, if not more. And get dual 8800's, and Intel CPUs are better, especially right now.

I looked into intel but AMD is better for gaming.

Which intel would be good for running crysis and editing?

And Dual 8800s thats way to fucking expensive. Maybe if I already had a kickass computer but I own a dell computer with 15in CRT, 5200GS 256mb, 512mb memory, 80 gig hard drive.

8500GT is just right for me
 
I need a screen then that is DX-10 compatable.

Find me a screen thats under $200

I did find one but it got horrible reviews.
