That comes out to around $520, but I need a mobo and a recommendation on which 580GTX to purchase (I plan to SLI in the future). Is my PSU enough for SLI 580GTX's?
Does everything look good? Should I wait until the new lines of stuff comes out to build, or just buy them now? I found a couple things on sale for cyber monday (mobo, ram, the psu), so I could either buy those things now and hope ivy bridge doesnt come out before i buy the rest, or wait to buy. What should I do?
