Starting My 5-boxing-Team NEED Suggestions!
Soon to be 5-Boxer wondering what I should be looking into before I start leveling(i'm a HUGE PvP fan) also I like the idea of me being to do these lowbie instances without all the normal drama you get from a PuG :)
Heres my setup plan.. 19"MonitorX2, Also have two mice and keyboards if that matters.. Single system setup Details below..
Power Supply: 750 Watt Multi-GPU Approved Power Supply
Graphics Processor: 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 GT
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 8MB Cache 1066MHz FSB
Memory: 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 x 1024MB
Motherboard: NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard
Operating System: Windows Vista® Home Premium
System Drive: 250GB SATA 3Gb/s 7,200RPM 16MB Cache
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster® X-Fi™
As you can see I should be able to run 5 without tons of problems..
I'm just wondering if i'm missing anything besides keyclone..
Also I dont have my computer yet so i'm just looking for information
I'm very new to this so I wouldnt mind any other suggestions aswell
I highly apprechaite comments made to this matter looking forward to being part of the multiboxing community

Power Supply: If you want duel graphics cards later think about getting a SLI ready Power Supply.
Graphics Card: By far the best one for the Money. But the Down site is the GT is PCI Express 2.0 and from what I have heard the boards are expensive
Motherboard: Does not have PCI Express 2.0. So your card will not work with it.
OP-S: Vista = Eye candy

There arnt any PCIe 2.0 boards out yet for SLI, only the intel x38 is out atm i believe for PCIe 2.0 and its retardedly expensive.
The new nvidia 780i boards will be coming out very soon (most likely in the next month) and these will basically be the same as the 680i boards, but with PCIe 2.0 slots, which will work together with the 8800 GT cards.
As for the card not working with the motherboard he picked, thats completely incorrect. All of the PCIe 2.0 cards are backwards compatable because the interface is the same physically. So he wont have a problem with it, he just wont get the performance out of it as he would with a 2.0 board.
Vista = ...horrid for gaming, i use it and it kills my FPS, and im on a machine almost exactly like the OP posted (im not in SLI though)
Also question... is there any reason why you chose to get 4x1GB sticks? instead of 2x2GB sticks (which work better together). This being because:
1) Some 680i boards are picky with 4x1
2) 2x2 is upgradeable
3) 2x2 puts less stress on the memory controller
Just throwing that out there. other than that, looks like a good system.

I bought almost the same just the other day:
PSU: 450W
GFX: 640MB 8800 Alpha Dog
CPU: Q6600
RAM: 2x 2GB 1000MHz
M/B: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
O/S: Vista Ultimate
HDD: 2x 320GB 3GB/s
Check the prices on RAM, the 1000MHz RAM was actually cheaper for me than 800MHz RAM. And as someone else mentioned, 2x 2GB sticks is a better option.
Why an extra sound card? Most motherboards come with pretty good on-board sound these days and if it is going to be a gaming rig primarily then it might just be a waste of money.
