ok so i know nothing about computers and i was wondering how much this custom built is worth.
2 processors running - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.41 GHz Performance Rated at 7.20 GHz 2 gigs of ram 2 nvidia geforce 6600 200 gig hard drive and the case is freaking awsome and you know sound card windows xp and all that.
You're going to buy it or sell it? The 2 6600's, are they GS or GT? Even so, the GF6 series is sort of outdated. I would say no more than 600-800...Rough guess...

I can build a slightly better new system for $815 CAD, so I would estimate your systems worth to be about 600-700 CAD.
Well, don't feel too bad. Your Processor and Ram aren't half bad. The two 6600GS in SLI should be able to equal maybe a 7900GS. You might want to sell both of them off, and buy a 8600 Ultra with w/e money you salvage.
alredy bought it from my sisters boyfriend for a $1000 >.> i feel sick now. joemama2341
oh daaaaaamn...that's sucks hard man. Then again, it really makes a difference as far as the particulars of the system. Brand of RAM, type of hard drive (fingers crossed for Raptor :-P), brand of case, etc. Just out of curiosity, did you get the sense that your sister's boyfriend was trying to screw you over, or was he trying to help you out? I mean, I would never overcharge my girlfriend's family for a custom build computer...that's just a s*** thing to do.

Not quite, a pair of 6600 GT's don't even come very close to a 7900GS on most games.
Since he has PCI-Express he can still buy an 8800 GTS but that possibly requires a new power supply. An 8800 GTX would require a new case, and a new power supply. I would also say if you have all of that money to spend you might as well go from scratch and get a Core 2 Duo.

Tom's VGA Charts are not much better then random guesses. They definitely aren't very accurate with dual-GPU setups.

Well, some games are more CPU/RAM Dependant than others, but I still use Tommy boy's VGA charts, among with the other video card reviews.frost_mourne13
Yeah I also use Firing Squad, X-bit Labs, and Anandtech for reviews, but sometimes it is hard to find comparisons of the specific video cards and processors I want to compare.
i don't think he was trying to screw me over, they are both work on computers for a living so i thought that they would know what it was worth and i dident need to check.but i dident take into account that he might not know anything about gaming computers he paid $1600 for it a year ago and it has a bunch of extra stuff, a liquid cooling system a dvd burner and neon lights and some other stuff. but thanks alott for the help.

When you factor in the liquid cooling system it isn't as bad as it seemed before. Those can run you a few hundred dollars plus installation fees if you don't know how to do it yourself.
whew don't feel quite so bad now, yea i have know idea how to put computers together myself so it was nice to have the whole thing ready for me. so if i sell the 2 what would be the best video card i could buy without buying anything else? and also is overclocking important?
1. oc'ing can hurt your computer if you don't know what your doing, so i would have your Sister's bf or w/e do it for you if you need it. 2. If you sold both 6600's i think you can get a 7600GT with the money. I would sell them in a pair, because the only reason anyone would buy a 6600 nowadays, is for SLI on the cheap.
Oh wow, good. Knowing it has water cooling makes me far less concerned for you. You may not have gotten ripped off as bad as I thought you did. As far as what to do with the 6600s...I've heard that twin 6800XTs make for a really sweet cheapo SLI combo...has anyone else heard that?

Since its used more like 650-700 bucks, It really depends on the condition of the computer.
