Sorry for repost. Just want to double check if my com specs are okay. I am planning to crossfire in the future, with another 6870.

CPU: AMD x4 965
MOBO: ASUS M4A89TD PRO
GPU: POWERCOLOR HD 6870
RAM: Kingston 1333MHz CL9 DDR3
Hard Disk: Hitachi 1TB
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M850W
Casing: Cooler Master Storm Scout

Please give your views and thoughts.

What is your overall budget?

I would go the phenom ii 955. Same cpu as the 965 but cheaper and a slightly lower clock (which a tiny overclock can remedy).

I would also suggest going with 1600 ram instead of 1333.

I would also suggest getting a different psu. 6870s in crossfire won't need an 850w power supply. A good 750w one should cover you:

found these in case youre wondering,,,points made on the parts tho

I am from Singapore. If I read correctly, newegg.com does not cover Singapore. Thus, is there any other website, that is as reliable as newegg.com, that provides shipping to Singapore?
my budget is around $1500 thanks in advance!

Yup but the products from newegg.com gives me a rough idea. I remember reading somewhere that 1600 ram has only a slight performance boast than 1333 ram. For the psu, I was thinking of changing to cooler master gx 750w as my local store does not sell xfx.
