I think the NCIX sites buggered. I went to check out this weeks sales, and get a 404 from their own email flier.

Ya, I can't seem to re-create the link issues >.< but, I think im going to go with 5870 + i5 750... and yes I do plan to xfire them later on... so I should be looking at like a 850w psu?

Ok so with the 950w psu, the 5870 instead of gtx 470 and a 50gb ssd and 4gb of ram instead of 8...my only question left is the mother board, of these 3 which would you guys chose and why?..thanks for the help, it is very much appreciated

EVGA P55 FTW
or
Gigabyte P55A-UD4P
or
ASUS P7P55D Pro

are you planning on cross firing the the graphics cards later.. 950w is way over kill, you could get away with a 750 and be safe with a 800w...

i have a 700W coolermaster psu and that will be enough to crossfire 5870s

 

[xenth]

Ya I plan on cross firing them later on and was hoping the psu would be able to carry over to the next time I upgrade the graphics card to the next latest and greatest. So if 750w would last me 2 builds ill get it along with oc'ing the cpu

 

[Sean W.]

oh, then a 850 or higher would be what you want, like you already have. i was just curious why you went with such a high wattage... and this is why haha
