Thanks, So the 6870 and amd's x6 is the way to go?
In my mind it was either that or AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHZ Black Edition and a better gfx card

AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz Now: $189.99 it would the neast than 965BE outoff stock in newegg in amazone : $134.99
if you go Phenom X4 get 955BE $119.99 , it the beast for overclock and you will get 990x motherboard and + VGA HD 6950
