I love Gigabyte's motherboards and that one came out great in tests. Memory.. well.. I have 8Gb now at 1066 Mhz at Vista64 and I love it (more). Two 5xxx will be nice but know it aint much higher. For example my old hd3870 in CF was with one crd 12.000 points in 3dmark06 and two 15.000 points. Its better to get one 5990's or 5970's to be honest. Cheers!

Par contre, avec la 295 GTX, ts les jeux cartonnent en affichage, rapidité, et qualit. Par contre, je n'ai jamais essayé le crossfire... Peut être l'alim de 750 W pourrait s'avérer juste pour tte la config (trop canon....) que t'essaies de monter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too bad at using computers at work or for playing but when it comes to build one i'm lost ! I'll stick to a single card certainly a HD5970 . Thanks again .

Not that you would want to spend that kinda coin.400.00 for the controler and 300.00 each for the drives. But what speed!!!! also had 2 quad core i7 processors and 24GB 1333 memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Also corsair makes a 1000 watt power supply. It has always been my experiance that the power supply is the backbone for your computer. I go all out on that as I have a 1,300 watt in mine.
