Getting into the final week of making my purchase. Obviously I'm gonna upgrade the CPU to the bulldozer when and if it comes out. I'm pretty sure I'm good to go, not doing crossfire ever. The only thing I'm thinking is getting a 570 instead. Gonna cost me $100 more, but I'm still deciding. Any suggestions are welcome. RAM and Case purchased so nothing I can do about that. I'm also using the SSD from the computer in my sig. I get Windows 7 free from my school. Monitor, keyboard, and mouse taken care of.
CPU (will upgrade, thanks to voyagerfan for selling it to me) $65

Total comes to around $680, and with the projected bulldozer price, comes to $1000. Pretty good for this beast of a computer.
Any other last thoughts?
