I want to use an AMD 1055t in my new build, and get a combo motherboard found on the page HERE:
http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/AMDbundlePROMO.html
I would use the combo mobo until I upgraded to the 990fx chipset once I could afford an enthusast class board (such as the crosshair v formula).
For the case I would like the M59 by NZXT found here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146058
In regards to grapics, should I crossfire XFX 5770s or upgrade to a higher GFX card?
