Ok this really has to do with the computer specs in general but i had no clue where to put this in the fourms. So i put it in motherboards and memory as you can see.

Here is what i want to run but i have no clue if they will go together with each other this will be a first time build for me \

here is the build

Graphics
I will be crossfiring the cards not sure what it really is but i know the simple fact that its great and makes graphics run smooth as heck, not sure if they will go together and what not with the motherboard or even together themselves.

Okeeeyyyy, Hold your horses buddy.
Crossfire means using 2 Cards at the same time giving you a good boost. Now, You never go Crossfire First, you Always get the Best Single Video Card you Can Afford.
Crossfire means Heat and Power Ussage, And you Can only Crossfire of the Same Model, Call it 6950+6950 or 6870+6870.
Get This Graphic Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Later in 1 Year when Prices come down you Get another one and Crossfire. That 7950 will give you The same Performance than 6870 in crossfire mode.

Now, Amd is Far Behind of Intel, Wouldnt You Rather Go with a I5 2500k and Main Cpu? It will get You Better Performance While Gaming.

thank you for that website it helped a lot i completely re did the computer, although im not sure what BIOS is on a motherboard. I thank you for your help everyone! Also that graphics card is will be used in the setup and i will look at another one in a year or so to crossfire it Thank you.

That TV, have you seen it in person? while it may be a great bargain and all I'd look at a sears (they have great pricing on TV's) or another retail store if you haven't as buying from pictures online is pretty iffy. Also, and this is just personal preference check out some plasmas as they are great for gaming and don't get too hung up on 1080p as 720p can look just as sharp.

Yes i have seen it in person and it looks pretty nice, there are some great reviews on it also once the power saver is turned off and such. Along the lines it looks pretty nice. As for a plasma i know they are great for gaming on but i just don't have the money to go out and buy a 50 inch at a 1,200 bucks. They have this at sears with the same price on it may be a little bit higher even.
