Each option is roughly the same price, ideally i would go for the GTX with a view to SLI in the future but my mobo supports xfire.

Can't decide. My mobo is an Asus Maximus Formula SE. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if you can fit two ATI HD 3870's into the Asus Maximus Formula SE as well as the included supremeFX 2 card? The 3870's are double slot cards and i dont know if the crossfire will cross the gap.

Im just gonna build after christmas, there is going to be a few releases in Jan which will drive down prices and stuff is always cheeper in the new year anyway. Ill check out the situation then.

Is there any reason why i shouldn't go for nvidia?

Im looking to build my first comp. Im building it pretty high spec and want lots of room for maneuver. I would like to go for a board that supports SLI as opposed to crossfire but i would like to go for x38 as opposed to p35 and there doesnt seem to be any which combine these two features - at...
