I had a friend give me a few parts to build a computer with and I am looking for any advice and criticism I can get on the subject. Although i have 2 slightly different GPUs I was reading that It should be possible to SLI them. I don't know that since I have both cards if that would be the best option or not. I'd like to maybe try some overclocking but it's not a must. I was also thinking of getting a $120 240gb SSD and a $50 750w Modular PSU on slickdeals today to compliment the pieces I got I'm just looking for some feedback.
