dont crossfire right away, just save up a bit and get a second 5850, you will not regret this choice.As for your other parts, they are fine, P55 might not be as good as the x58 but its your choice. With your budget, id suggest getting an x58, the ud3r is good, the ECS X58 is also reasonable.

The ECS X58 is a more then then the P55... and well i cant run a i5 750 on the X58 cause the MoBo is LGA1366 while the i5 is LGA1156....

Well i meant get the x58 instead along with a i7920 or 930, its well within your budget..... you are talking about US$ right?

I5750 is the right choice for this budget when iot comes to gaming. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Liquid, why get a cpu/mobo/ram that costs more for the same performance with 1 or 2 video cards?

I can only help you on one topic : Do not errr... DO NOT BUY FROM TIGERDIRECT !!!!

www.newegg.ca OR www.directcanada.com ( I strongly suggest you directcanada )

300$ and up and you get free shipping. Tiger direct prices are horrible !

 

[spentshells]

www.canadacomputers.com

or

www.memoryexpress.com

more expensive but less taxes

I have looked at newegg and i saw the huge price difference... I just have a problem with ordering things online so i was just going to go to my local tigerdirect.... Are those two site reliable? And its probaly worth shipping for the savings right?

 

[abswindows7]

try direct canada you will save an easy $50+

I bought several times online and yes, it is reliable

I'd say make youself 3 config ( 1 on each website ) and judge by yourself with the prices
