So hey, i'm currently in the process of purchasing new stuff to upgrade my computer hardware but i've run into a corner and i'm in need of help. my future system looks like this at the moment:
GPU: Sapphire ATI radeon 5850
Memory: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9
PSU: Corsair VX 550W ( Is it enough?)
HDD: WD Caviar black edition 640gb
CPU: CPU: Intel i5 750 2.66ghz
MB: ??
Now the first problem im having is the MB. I need an MB which supports my Memory sticks and the CPU (obviously) but im looking for something cheap (160-200) USD that also supports crossfire for the future when i run it with two 5850's. Will the two 5850's be an for the future or?
Because if it is the GA-P55A-UD3 should do just fine.
Also please feel free to add comments about the rest of the specc. I was also thinking of going for the AMD phenom ll X4 955 processor but people told me to go for i5 since i've got the money.
So what do you think? What MB can you recommend?
Thanks.
