Playing around with a new build (not sure when I'll build it.

Dropping the 9800GX2 for a 8800 GTX - Since I run Dual Monitors and SLI doesn't like it. As for the QX9650 - the 9550 and 9450 are out of stock, but may get one of them as they are much cheaper. Anyone have the motherboard? Does it have bad Vdroop?

Comments/Suggestions?

Yep, Drop the 9800.

They look nice, but as has been said, won't work great for Multiboxing.

I have both that same case and the deluxe version of that motherboard. both are excellent.

PSU is major overkill btw.

I can run 2 8800GTX on this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001

if you still want a little more juice you can do the 620W version which is plenty for anything you may want/need and still almost 100bucks cheaper
