Hey guys.

I'm sure you guys hear these kinda questions ALL the time, so sorry for that.
I'm buying a new gateway at Best Buy

http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668210.php

I'm still new to computers so I don't know all about the new parts that are coming out and don't know whats good anymore (I know the best computers are built but I simply don't have the credit limit to support one). I only play a few computer games, but I'd like not to be limited only to what my computer is capable of, hence buying a new computer (currently using an acer aspire 5672WLMI).

Just a few questions about this computer:
*Does this computer support crossfire? If so, is the stock power supply capable of running such a set up?
*I want to put more ram into this comp, what should I look for?
*With everything stock, what kinda performance should I see? I play WoW, but hope to play other games as well.

I am completely open to all suggestions.

Thank you for any feed back and have a great day!
 
1. It has an Intel X58 chipset so yes it does support crossfire. But if you want high quality cards, you'll have to upgrade your PSU as well.
2. You will need DDR3 1600. And I believe it is tri-channel sets, or 3 in 1 set
3. WoW can be played at max. You should have no problems running any other games at nearmax settings (cept Crysis of course, and maybe a couple newer games as well)
