Total = $608.92. It would be an awesome gaming rig

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product No, I just meant to put a space between the link and the the mobo.

It does support CF with two PCI-E 2.0 slots running @ x16. It even says CrossfireX support. I do not know too much about AM3+ mobos, but I have heard that the new bulldozer will not run on am3+. I would just get what you want now. And that RAM is really cheap. So is the PSU.

I looked at it from Newegg today. With all the rebates, it was $608.92. With rebates, you pay full price, then you ask them about the rebates, then they give you one, then you fill it put, and then you send it back and they give you whatever amount of money.

Did you add anything? When I added it up with all the links it equaled $608.92.

Oh, I did it from neweggUSA. Yeah, that might be a problem. Can you wait to get more money or lower the CPU to like an Athlon II X4?

Ill wait. I got a crap load of bottles to take back. I mean a CRAP load, haha.

Wait a minute, I am going to go on newegg.ca.com and see if I can find something for you.

That would be a great gaming computer too. The reasons I picked those components is because 1) Good case airflow 2) you can CF 3) MoBo supports good RAM 4) and PSU is good.

You should be pretty pretty happy with that build for gaming. It has everything you wanted, all for $602.92. The mobo doesn't say what the TDP is, but it says it will support Phenom II CPUs. I also looked on their website, the mobos closest to that had 125w CPU support. I think that the build I just suggested will easily meet your gaming needs. Strong CPU, GPU, and RAM for performance. It also has good cooling, case and GPU. (CPU should too) PSU is solid. (I know, I own one) So tell me what you think.

If you are worried about the MOBO I will look for another one. Does the rest look good? BTW that link was broken.

Yes the rest does look good.

Okay, look at those.

So what do you think?

That was a hd6850, if you got an hd6950 you could probablt flash it. On medium settings you could get probably 150FPS on SC2 and I have never played WoW, but pretty high. You could easily completely max out both of those games. You could even max out Crysis and Metro 2033. I know maxxing Metro 2033 sounds rediculous with that set up, but I maxed it out with an OCed hd6850, an AMD Athlon II X3 440 @ 3.5GHz, and 4gb PNY 800Mhz RAM. If you got an hd6950 that machine would be killer. So, are you going to get all the pieces? If so, tell me what happens when you get them. I would like to be updated.

I do not think that it is possible sadly. (I wish I could do that with mine) I could recommend a hd6870 if you want, but you couldn't CF hd6870s with that PSU. So, even being a hd6850 and not a hd6950, does it still suit your needs?

So are you going to get it?

When, and if, you get it, please update me and tell me how it went.

The link was still broken. (Newegg must be having issues) It was G. skill 4gb 1333Mhz (2x2) RAM. It had 8 CAS and it was in a blue case. It was not a Ripjaw series set.
