Final Price is $684.92 without mail in rebates and promo codes, and $651.52 with them. This is more CPU strong, however i can change things around to make it more gaming orientated, or just slightly cheaper components.

This would be USB/SATA 3.0 and 8/8 crossfire capable

$664AR

Thanks guys! some really good builds here
@batuchka I was more looking for the Antec 300 case, its best in class in most of the reviews I've read. Would you say the AMD CPU will need an aftermarket cooler? because they have a history of heating up quicker?

 

[ares1214]

It might be a good idea to get a 6850 over everything else now FYI.

[moqamar]

@ares1214 Agreed. How does the GTX460 compare tho?

6850 is the better buy over the 460, by a decent margin. 6870 has a little less bang for buck, however is the better buy over the 470. 460 768MB is the better buy of anything below it.
