o man thank you so much...this looks great! Out of curiosity tho...would this card work just as well?

The sapphire card should run a bit cooler but if you arent going to OC the card that doesnt really matter, in which was the $5 less for the XFX and lifetime warranty would be better.

ya i really like that warranty...i may overclock in the future. But with either of these cards i don't think i will need to.


also does this motherboard support crossfire?

[hunter315]

Nope, if you want crossfire you should go for a 790x or a 790GX board, and you would need to upgrade your power supply. Single cards should get you by on high settings for a long time so you wont really need it.
