Hi,
This is the build I am currently looking at. It is replacing a 4yr old dell xps m1530. I would like to know if there are any incompatibilities with the parts that anyone knows of. Also will this case/mobo be suitable for xfire at a later date? Any suggestions for different parts in the same price range? Finally what brand of 7970 is the best?
