it looks good from what I see. If you wish to CF/SLI in the future, I would get a 990X or 990FX AM3+ instead of the 970.
 
Good deal. No I don't plan on any of that. I work a wicked schedule so I just need something that'll last me solid through the next 2 years. :)
 
As beautiful as those babies look, they'll suck me straight into the sky and far far away from my budget. :)
