Hello everyone , is time to upgrade my old system so i got some parts for my old ALX case , but i still looking for a videocards i dont know what is the best choise ATI or Nvidia but i already have some parts :

Motherboard : EVGA classified 759
CPU : intel i7 965 extreme
Memory : 6GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT
Hard drive : 2 x Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB ( RAID 0 )

Go with the the Gtx 295 in my opinion.
Argument: 1. Faster
2. Dx10-Dx11 is not much of a difference at all, not nearly as dramatic as dx9-dx10 was and that is barely noticeable in many games.
3. Nvidia has much much better drivers out and alot of 3rd parties who enhance the drivers.

O and any idea where to find a Mars card? I have been looking for one and can't seem to find them.

Thanks for the advise but i'll wait for the 5870X2 or the new gt300 , and you right about Dx10-Dx11 is not much of a difference at all , i was try to find the ASUS Mars 295 but is really hard to find , i see one of them on ebay for $2000 ( crazy ) to much for me
i'll post pictures of my new build soon because i need take off the hard drive cage of my ALX case.
