Is all of this good to go? I know the PSU may suck, is there anything you can suggest in this price range that will efficiently and safely power all of this? Does everything else look okay? I've been at this for 4 days I hope I finally got it right.

Btw, used tigerdirect for most of these items. I live in TN and have to pay sales tax, so a relatively cheap alternative PSU that can be found on tigerdirect would be great.

Also, any Mobos on tigerdirect that are about the same price as the ASRock?

Thank you SO MUCH!

Is ATI better suited on an AMD mobo or something? I just really liked the core and shader speeds on the 460 I linked. Does the 6850 have better specs? I compared a Sapphire 6850 and thought the GTX460 was the better.

from the release article, the 6850 and the stock GTX 460 are pretty much neck and neck in actual performance.

and Yes, the AMD motherboards will do Crossfire with AMD cards, but won't do SLI with NVidia cards. No effect on a single card GPU, just multiple cards
