im going to run duel of one of these id like soem input about this or maybe other options my new comp will have 1100t 6 core 4 gb ram 650w if u could help be a happy gamer

I believe AMD motherboards are either SLI or Crossfire, not both. If you already have the board then it's been decided for you. If not I would recommend using an AMD chipset/Crossfire.
Is there a reason you are deciding between the HD6770 and the GTX 460 anyway? It is the HD6850 that is the AMD equivalent of the GTX 460, both in price and performance.
Also have you considered a Sandy Bridge system instead? The 1100T is a poor value in comparison to Intel's current offerings.

intel cost like 50% more for eqiv that my only issue with it

That is the opposite of true. The 1100T is $195 on newegg right now. The i5-2400 is $190. Here is how they compare;

It isn't even close. If you can spend slightly more and get an i5-2500K($220) and overclock it up to 4.5ghz(not hard to do) then difference is enormous.

dude u rock ty a ton i have some real info not ty alot

well if your out to save money and your going to mainly be playing games, you would be much better of buying a phenom ii 955 for about 70 bucks less than the 1100t, it would perform just as good or even better for some games seeing as no games really use more than 4 cores yet (some even have problems working with those six core AMD cpu's) but if your set in spending that amount, a 2500k and a sli capable z68 motherboard would only cost maybe 20-40$ more than an 1100t and a good sli capable amd motherboard

 

[jyjjy]

Yeah, either drop down to the 955 or go up to the i5-2500k and OC the hell out of it. Those are the best values for the money right now.
