More about : advice time amd build
1. You have selected a top of the line 16/16 crossfire capable 890FX
2. GTX 480 is SLI capable and across the board HD 5850/5870 are better buys vs GTX 470/480 The latter also consumes more power then a HD 5970 @@ Read reviews about current Fermi GPUs w.r.t
idle/load temps, noise and retail pricing as per performance and reconsider?

yeah i know its a crossfire only but from what i've read i wouldn't want 2 gtx 480's anyway because they are so hot.. But as i said i wouldn't know where to start as to what brand of 5870 or what kind (other than i know i wouldnt need an eyefinity6 edition)
Theres super clocked gigabyte ones or sapphire toxic or sapphire vapour-x and so on. Hence the dilemma of what specific 5870. Unless i just got the cheapest, in my case that would be a powercolor or amazetech version, neither brand i know or have heard much about

My advice for your first build is to buy Intel core i7 instead of AMD ![:p]( ":p")
<- intel fanboy

well i would have got intel but their 6core is $1400 or so which puts it well out of my price range.
It seems as though ill be getting 5870's though finding any IN STOCK for below a $600 480 price is proving very difficult
Similar issue with cases.. I might end up getting an Antec DF-35, ah well
Thanks for the help though
