Any feedback is welcome, is this a good option for crossfire in the future? Will be used for gaming, WoW, Crysis, CoD, BF2, SC2 etc and in the future D3 and the new Star Wars MMO.

Already using a 27" LCD monitor, speakers, keyboard mouse all sorted.

Have I missed anything obvious?

Thanks :walkman:

Also don't forget the silver warranty, it's only a fiver and extends the return and collect and parts from a month to a year, well worth it

Thanks for the replies, I've had another look at the power requirement for an additional 6970 card in the future and it's recommended a 1000w power supply with the estimated usage at 984w, is the 1000w supply sufficient longterm with a usage being so close to it's maximum?

 

[MrShteeeve]

That's with the 20% extra usage added on If I'm right in saying, so it's not actually that close to the limit.


Edit:

Yep, I just spec'd up your build and that 984W IS with the extra 20% added on for system environment variables etc. So without it, the wattage is only 820W. In a nutshell, the 1000W will be absolutely fine
