Thanks for the replies,few questions though.

1.Is a 550W PSU really enough for the 6870 in the first build?
2.Sorta read mixed stuff about biostar motherboard, any other opinions about this specific motherboard?

Other then that I really like the first build.

Someone please give opinions and answers to these two questions

1. 550W would easily suffice for a single HD 6870.

2. Biostar boards are OK for normal usage, but if you want a better brand, then change to this -
955 + ASUS 870A

1. Yes
2. Had build with it and other/most brands - good to go but dun expect it to perform like a $140 board :lol:

Yep thank you for your kind words ^^
