Additional Comments: I'm going to order parts for my build this week after putting it off for a month or two. Does everything look good? It comes to $910 after price checking and taxes. Should I switch to an SLI mobo and a better PSU to give me the option to add another gtx460 down the road? I've never done any crossfire or overclocking. I look foward to some legendary TomsHardware forum suggestions.
