with all the parts i picks i kinda just judged them on looks i have no idea on the compatibility. oh and the graphics card i picked is that a good one? what about 2 graphics cards working together like someone said in an earlier post. and how does one do that?

oh and a power supply how do i pick out one of those for this?
Build the AM3 system you had picked out. The AM2+ processors are being fazed out, plus you dont want to build a new system with yesterdays hardware.

The video card you picked out is fine. (But) the board you picked is a ATI Crossfire board. You can not SLI two Nvidia cards on it. For the money you could get a 4870 X2 and get another one and crossfire them later.

Or you could lower it to a 4890 and get two and run them in crossfire.
