Hey Pros,
Newbie here.Here's my SystemConfig. I'm just starting to build my career into 3dAnimation so it would be appreciated if you could patiently comment on my system config and answer a long list of questions below.
System Information
-----------------------

Question 1
------------
It's been just over 2months I've upgraded my PC. Please point out if there should be anything "seriously changed or upgraded".
Question 2
------------
I've a Cabinet with Zebronics 600W SMPS with 3 Fans (Model Name: ANTIBIOTIC) and it makes a "wind" like sound although it hasn't caused a problem, this happens only if I'm running a game (Cricket 2005) or Rendering some of my 3d scenes. Any issues here?
Question 3
------------
Suggest me the changes I desperately need to make in order to make my PC capable of performing high-speed* renders.
*I'm not telling that my PC is "stubborn slow" but yeah, I would still like it that it is capable of performing high-speed renders
Question 4
-------------
As you'd already noticed that I do not have a GraphicsCard (PCI Card) installed, is it argueable that to speed up things (like my 3d scenes should render fast) and I've put in a graphics card?
How good is my default Graphics config, that is my onboard graphics card?
Will my INTEL945 GNT board support SLI...that is.... if I wanna jam in two 6800GT/7800GTX card or if it doesn't can I put in a 6800GT/7800dualGPU on the same motherboard (INTEL 945GNT)
Question 5
------------
Would you recommend me to upgrade fromm my current system config to
ASUS-A8N-SLI-PREMIUM Motheboard and 64 X2 4800+ processor or stay with my current config and invest in a graphics card?
Please reply. Thanks a tons in advance
