looks good only thing id change is put computer priority b4 accessories

I mean do u need that Lycosa?? Ud probably be happier taking the $80 and upgrading that 9800GTX+ to a 4870

The motherboard is crossfire compatible. As Silverion suggests, go with a 4870 if you can afford the extra $80. Otherwise I recommend going with a 4850 as it will give you the option of tossing in a second card later on down the line.

+1 to Slomo4shO

if not 4870 get the 4850
