OTHER THOUGHTS:
I am considering the below mobo, since it states its both SLI and Crossfire capable... is this correct?
I had heard that putting an ATI card in an Nvidia mobo or vice versa severely cut its performance in general, not counting no sli.
also, I am getting the cheapish radeon for now, until a dx11 nvidia card is released in the 300ish price range.
Another thought that I had was to install a raid array using 4 500gb hard drives, but I already have 2 diff size drives.
I am considering the following build, any thoughts on it?
