So I Just purchased a MSI R6870 Hawk Radeon HD 6870 on craigslist for 175$ us dollars and love it! I need to get my new build going and want to buy one more of these so i can crossfire them. For my budget i think that the i5 2500k processor is going to be my best option. Though if people think Amd can compete with chip at this price id love to hear it. Because these cards are so big i'm worried about finding a Mobo that can handle it. Also do i need it at 16x x2 ? or will i be fine with x8 x2? Also something that will keep them spread out so they stay cool thanks for any info possible. This also take me to my next Question What case is gonna be good for these two beasts? thanks again for your time!
