Thanks Nik will do that  

check out the samsung HDD you can get a 500 F3 for 49.99 or a 1TB for 79 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

84 for the 1TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

my bad  

IMO the SSD will not be worth the price for gaming. I would run 2 samsung F3 500 or WD black 640 in Raid 0 for gaming. you will see some things load faster with the SSD but for large cache files like alot of the newer games has i think a raid o would work well.

Anyways when playing online games there is also server side lag and even with the best rig you will still see it.

Yeah was wondering about that SSD. Would be nice to save almost $400  

Always have had good luck with WD...never used a Samsung so I am kinda wary of going "off-brand" if you know what I mean.

That Samsung NIKLAS linked is a good one. It's gotten great reviews and it's fast due to the fact it's a single platter.

+1 on the Samsung F3

The money saved on the SSD can go towards a second HD5870 =)

How hard is it to do a crossfire? Pretty simple or do I need advanced knowledge to do it?

Will go with the Samsung on you all's advice  

Will the PSU I select be enough with 2 ATI 5870's in XFire?

Crossfire involves connecting the two cards with the little crossfire bridge (no harder than pluggin in a PCI card)

And then enabling it in your Catalyst Control Center.

Yes that 850W Corsair is plenty of power for HD5870 crossfire.

OK thx Trans, always like to make sure
