Here is the gaming i7 rig I'm looking to purchase asap. I want to do Crossfire or SLI, I'm not to worried about buying now, then dx11 cards coming out due to xfx's upgrade policies etc. Or should I just wait till september to see the specs on the new dx11 cards, if I don't like em, just add a second 4890 or 275?
Second question is, 4890 or 275? Right now the build price is at $1275 with just 1 4890 card in my cart. Third question, what are the chances of getting a D0 stepping from newegg?
Also I will be overclocking this to ~4ghz
My build: Feel free to critique or make changes.
