Hello,
I just recently built my self an ok Gaming rig for the second time, which shows that im no Guru at all this hardware stuff. Anyways i am very satisfied at the build but just recently i started to think about getting Crossfire going, and looked in my Case to find out that there might not be enough space for that to happen, so i came here seeking advice. As i got some pictures to show, and maybe someone here can tell me if i can achieve this or should i go out and by a different motherboard or possibly tower, here are the specs
*Inter core i7 950 - stock
*Cooler Master V6 Heatsink
*X58A-UD3R Mobo
*6gb 1600mhz G.skill Tripple Channel - stock
*ATI Saphire 5770 Vapor-x Graphics Card
*Corsair 750 watt modular PSU
*640gb WD Caviar Black SATA 3
*Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid tower Case
*Samsung 23" 1080p LCD
*ASUS DVD writer
*Microsoft Wireless 3000 Keyboard
Total Cost = $1650 CAD
For my needs its plenty but i would like to get another Video card just so i can play my games smoother, and since the 5770's are like 130$ why not.
Here are the pics of the slots i put a sharpie touching the PSU standing upwords to show a comparison of how much space is available
