Hello there I;m looking for some feedback on this build .. The total cost on newegg is $1.144.90 the case has some pretty good reviews so hopefully heat wont be a huge issue ..i do wanna overclock this system if a couple cheap fans or a heatsink will help let me know im sure there's tons of overclocking room on the cpu and the two gpu's Im definatly not gonna be talked out of buying this particular processor It's truly the best possible value I've found for a pc running crossfire.. I;m not really wanting to wait around for the Radeon 5ooo series cards I mean how many DirectX 11 games will there really be in the next year or 2 ?? Ive heard a great deal of good about the 4870's so thats what I must have..I'm willing to make improvements on this build if needed tell me what u guys think
