Ok so I am looking at building a new computer.
I want to use 2 nvidia cards everybody I ask said they are better, but the motherboard I had recommended has crossfire. I don't Know if this is a problem because I don't want to do sli. I want to use "Soft TH" for 3 screens and "CUDA" to use the other gpu (the second cards gpu). please tell me if I can use 2 nvidia cards without using sli, or if I can even use 2 nvidia cards on a motherboard with crossfire.

also I have a nvidia GeForce 9600 GT card that I want to keep using (maybe as the second card)
sorry for poor english, it isn't my first language.
