Hello , I'm getting a new system (custom built) . here are the specs :

2x ATI HD 5770 1GB ,128 bit
Phenom II X4 965 Quad Core 3,4 GHz 2MB L2/6MB L3 (Black edition)
2x 2GB DDR3 Corsair 1600MHz (RAM)
1 TB Seagate SATA2 7200 rpm ,32 MB
PSU : 700W 120mm fan , SLi & CF certified
Chasis : Thermaltake Shark (VA7000BWA)
Motherboard : MSI 770-G45, AMD 770, AM3, DDR3, 2xPCI-E (CF), SB7.1, Lan1000, SATA RAID 0,1,10, ATX (Copied name)

My Questions :
1.What type of fan do i need for CPU, will this work :Spire TherMax Pro ?
2.Is everything compatible ?
3.Does the mother board support CrossFireX (it says in description CF, but idk) ?
4. Can i put the 2 HD 5770 in (CrossFireX) and what i need (I'm a noob in this part, never had to make CF configs .)?
5. Does the Chasis have a DVD slot O.O ? Didn't see in description .
6. If the motherboard isn't compatible with something , especially CrossFireX, can you reccomend mother board for me ?!

If anything isn't as it should, feel free to post...

Thank you in advance, please respond soon !

What make and model Power Supply,your selection here can make or break your build.
If you use a cheap power supply you risk it failing and taking other parts (ram,Motherboard) with it.

1 yes
2 yes
3 yes
4 yes , you will need a bridge which comes with the motherboard
5 yes otherwise there would be nowhere to put a dvd drive

6 it is stop worrying

however with that rig id probably go for a better mobo , how much cash available? and i would rather go for a better single card than a crossfire/sli rig , they can be a pain in the rear sometimes , really not worth the hassle...........trust me i know

I can spend 200 BGN or 110 in USD more , but u mean on this mobo i'll get bad performance ?Offer me a good 1. About the CF, well in BGN,HD 5970 is 1 409.. and 2x 5770's are 667.. that's the reason i'm getting 2x 5770's... can't spend much more than the current cost.
