Tomorrow is the day

[KJS]

Review the build, I'm getting this tomorrow.
- Will the motherboard/processor/ram fit together
- Does the case have enough room to fit everything
- I'm going to crossfire in the future, will the case fit two 4830's
- The DVD Drive, how is it? Will it fit? Anything critical it's missing? I just need it to play my games and play a DVD here and there

Yup, its an atx case and should easily fit two 4830's. Only thing i would recommend is from when i helped you out a few days ago with your other thread is maybe power supply could be upped to this 750W as its only a few bucks more, free shipping and would provide for more effecinecy(psu's run more effecient at say half load than say 80% load)

Done, thanks =D.

I'm at like $930 now according to them. Before rebates. $849 after rebates.

Hey, bomberbysk, would it be possible to save off another $100?

I assume that I can get a cheaper triple-core for like $110 and save like $40.

Here's a link: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=106&po=0&ps=2

Is there a cheaper crossfire motherboard?
- Feel free to use newegg.ca or ncix.com
- Just need the motherboard to support an AMD board, DDR2 Ram + Crossfire

$103.29
MSI Motherboard.
Crossfire
Supports my DDR2 Ram and Processor I THINK.

Anyone want to double check?

$94.62 here

I save around $20 just on the motherboard.

Here's the cpu support list for that board.

I can't find anywhere that it says it's a Crossfire board...

Go to the 1st link on your page, and click overview.

'Hybrid Crossfire'

I think that means it will run your onboard and discreet cards together, idk.

You can't run two cards on it, I know that, but who cares.

You can put a smokin single card on it and never worry about frame rates.
