    Wish you'd fill in your sytem specs for us here
    Time To Update-usercp-1.png

    I only wanted to know if your board could run either SLI or Crossfire since some can and a couple of these babies look pretty good to me Newegg.com - XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity Even being an Nvidia Fanboy.

    Otherwise a couple of GTX460 would be nice as well Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    Or with a free download game and only 192 bit but a lot cooler looking fan setup in both ways. Newegg.com - EVGA 768-P3-1362-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    I have purchased from this company before, and they are decent. I haven't had to deal with their customer service yet (3 orders).

    Unless you are set on newegg.com.

    It would help to know the rest of your system specs to make a judgement on the PSU, but 850 will probably be plenty, depending on the mfg.
    I'm not set on newegg, that's just where I automatically go for most everything. I'll take a look.

    Sorry forgot about the rest of the system.

    I've been neglecting it until I actually have an operational machine but I've had enough time to do it I've just been waiting. I quoted a post with what I'm using. i have time before work today so I'll start filling it in. there is no point in waiting anymore since it has taken me so long to even figure out what I want.

    I'd pick up a pair of those open box 460s for the cheap.

    Two of these:

    Or two of these if it was my computer:

    I was going to just get two Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card.
    But I thought I might wait and see if NewEgg's Black November sale has any GPU discounts. They had free shipping and now they don't so I already missed that.

    Yo, what up Lollies, I see you still haven't made your decision on which Video card(s) to go for, so I thought I'd leave you with this little suggestion:

    What about two of these in CrossFire?:

    Newegg.com - XFX HD-685X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

    These new HD 6800 series cards from AMD scale EXTREMELY well, even surpassing NVIDIA's SLI level performance in most situations.

    Two HD 6850's in CrossFire would yield better performance than two GTX 460 in SLI.

    Plus they run cooler and require less amperage on the +12V rail.

    So think about it, two HD 6850 vs two GTX 460:

    • Cheaper
    • More performance
    • Less heat production
    • Less power consumption

    No downside whatsoever =).

    EDIT: Thought I'd leave you with this review:

    They had 10% off Intel&AMD Motherboards the 11/1 which is when I bought a bunch of games. Now they have 10% off Corsair and Antec PSU's so I could have saved 20$..sigh. Its too late to return it now anyways, I didn't wait so it figures.

    They now have ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card back in stock now.

    Ah man i was just read to but two EVGA or ASUS GTx 460's too lol. Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at it, I'm not against Radeon, just know little about it. I'm more of a Nvidia fanboy really I guess.

    Newegg has yet to have any sale on GPU's so I've got time, I'd rather wait than order two and see a 10% discount from their November sale. I could already have saved 20$ on my PSU.

    EVGA 015-P3-1580-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card is now available on newegg, currently has a 10% discount code, considering that. Any opinions? I've been waiting to see if GPU's go on sale for Black November but noticed this has a discount code already, not sure if it will for that long or what. If there is some type of sale from Black November than it may not stack promo's anyways.

    I own a EVGA gtx460 and a gtx470 I have the 460 in my media center and have the 470 in my gaming pc and i am happy with them. I play a lot of fps on my gaming rig. I have the setting in all the games I am playing maxed and get 60fps. I had a 9800gt be for this and I had to play BF2BC on low to med setting be for this and it was getting choppy with 32 people in a game.
    My old rig is now a media center with EVGA 460
    AMD 5200x2 4gigs ram and (EVGA9800gt) replaced with 460
    New gaming Pc
    AMD phenom II x4 965 8gigs ram and EVGA 470
    I am so happy with the cards they run great and I prefer Nvidea drivers over Ati for gaming I all ways had problems with some of the games I play not liking the Ati drivers
