Hey, so i'm working on my first build and below is what i got. My main concerns however is the motherboard and crossfire. It says it supports 16x and 4x when in CF, apparently asus boards and 16x 4x mean that crossfire is very bad? Could someone please confirm this or actually tell me the FPS difference i would be seeing...this is most important as if i lose just a little FPS on a high end game maxed out i am not too bothered. Also if you could check if it all works together, i think it does! Thanks
My main goal is to be able to run Battlefield 3 on Ultra @ 1080p with 30+ FPS.
