$850 gaming PC

Ok. I'm going to have to think on it a bit more before deciding whether I should spend the extra $125 on the 4870

Also, is this a decent enough cpu fan?
OCZ Vanquisher CPU Heatsink AM2 LGA775 S939 S940 S754 92MM 800-2000RPM - DirectCanada
I was surprised to find it actually cost way less on directcanada than on newegg.

ya pretty sure the 4870x2 is like the fastest card out right?
and even two in xfire are darn near close.

Not exactly, in most games Quad-Crossfire can't scale if its life depended on it.. either it stays exactly the same, or drops in performance, or a very little FPS increase

but one is the fastest card out right now

ya i kno quad sli is crap from what i hear.
but i meant having two normal 4870's in crossfire not dual 4870x2's
