i was wondering if all these parts are good also if they are compatable??
also someone wrote me this on another forum what does he mean is it good advice.? Tone down to a simple 8/8 CF board like Asrock 870Extreme3.

also was wondering if they power supply is adequate or too much.

will i be able to play with graphics at 2560 x 1600 resolution.

also was wondring if i should get a faster speed smaller internal hard drive for the gaming and a bigger external hard drive for files or something. im a noob to building computers so any help would be great thanks.

I would buy a better gpu maybe a gtx 570.
The advice is that you dont need a mobo as powerfull as the asus crosshair.
If you are going to use the pc for gaming i would consider going with intel. Wait for the new SB mobo's.

Hello flooosh;
You seem to be missing a PSU?

For 2560 x 1600 resolution you could really use a more powerful video card option.

For great performance @ 2560 x 1600 THG is recommending 2 x Radeon HD 6870 in CrossFireX

For good performance @ 2560 x 1600 THG is recommending 2 x Radeon HD 6850 in CrossFire or 1 HD 5870, 1 HD 6970 or 1 GTX 570

Since you're motherboard options don't support SLI it makes more sense to look at AMD video cards.

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula 890FX will run CFX @ x16 / x16 for $215
ASRock EXTREME3 870 will run CFX @ x8 / x8 for $90. This is a very good value part.
