What I need next is a silent case, a 1050 watt power supply, probably the 285 XFX Graphics card or may go for a 295 - can you run three 295 gtx together and get more than quad sli? I know 2x 295 FXF GTX cards get you quad… what about three?

Also I need a generic DVD rom drive, so generic harddrive space - 350gb and my processor will probably a quad 9000 series…

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback on this system? I want to run CS3 applications and play games. I also want to know on what the best operating system is. If I get XP - Can I still get directx 10 and play and run the latest stuff?
