sli means running 2 or more graphics cards at once (sli for nvidia crossfire for ati)

that build looks decent id get a better motherboard tho
and if cash is an issue id go with an amd build

SLI is when you have two graphics cards splitting the work which in theory should double your performance in-games and graphically intense applications...

The Intel Core i7 would better suit your needs for video editing and such because it has hyper-threading. The i7 is a quad-core desktop processor but with hyper-threading, it can create four additional threads on top of the four already inside of the processor that makes things like video rendering faster. The build I sent you is obsolete if you intend to do more than game.

hmmmm....maybe I should consider SLI then...

@psyki cash is no issue as long im not spending like 1000 bucks for a part atleast. considering If I can keep my job, im gonna buy part by part.

and yea I know about i7. the questions is, which model of i7 is powerful for my needs and affordable?

basically I got no problem with cash, but I dont want to spend a 1000$ for each part as I mentioned earlier and ive heard there are cheaper stuff that works better than expensive stuff.
