so first off my current computer is just shy if what i want e6600@3ghz BFG 8800GTS640 4gigs of dominator asus p5w dh delux
and its a crossfire board so i cant SLI it up
so im going to just build another computer
my questions are is it ok to mix brands when going crossfire? im looking at 2 4850's i was thinking of going with a sappire and an MSI or if i should just stick with 2 of the same
and for a proc im going with Q9450 but im not shure wich board i shoudl go with ive read some muxed reviews on the asus boards wich is what i usally get and should i go ddr2 or ddr3 i do plan on a mild OC for 3ghz maybe like 3.3 if im doing alot in 3dsmax
and a nice little pointer to a good power supply would also be useful, i went with a pretty Spire, gave me no problems, butr i think the power demands might be higher with crossfire cards
any help would be apreciated
