    New gaming PC, <$2,000

    Updated one more time, after reading some reviews I went with the DFI motherboard. As far as the case goes, I chose that one because pretty much everything I've read about it has been complimentary and I liked the style. Price was not the defining factor. I also saw a review that used a...

    ATI 4870

    I emailed customer support and they claim mine will ship today. I also ordered from one saved in my cart. :P

    New gaming PC, <$2,000

    Updated again, just to make sure there aren't any compatibility issues I'm missing. I've used Gigabytes in the past and have had good experiences, so I went with that one. Thanks again for the responses!

    New gaming PC, <$2,000

    Thanks for the help, guys. Updated the list. To be honest, I'm completely lost about motherboards. I DO want one that can do crossfire, as I'll probably eventually get another 4870. Do I need a soundcard, or will the motherboard handle it? Yes, I am repeatedly being happily surprised at how...

    ATi 4870/4850 Review Thread

    I'm looking for a graphics card for a new build (<$2,000). Would you all recommend two 4850's or a single 4870? I can squeeze either into my budget if necessary. This system would have to last me for a while, so I was thinking a 4870, then I can grab another 4870 later if my system starts to...
