i check the mobo its said crossfire support no, but 7950 crossfire support 4way crossfire.. do they have conflict to each other?

does the cpu have OC?

It means you can't add a 2nd GPU, but you dont need to add a 2nd one, so for you it does not matter.

Yes that CPU OC's MUCH better than the AMD CPU, you should be able to get 4.0+Ghz out of it with that cooler.

can u give me another type of hdd and ram that can be bought in the ncix?
 
hey i check the gpu minimum power need.. it need 500w.. but you suggest to me i get 450w only?

They suggest over powered PSU's because many people buy really crappy PSU's. the one I should you though is very good and will work just fine with the 7950

A wireless card doesn't really add power consumption (they work over USB, so the power requirement is close to zero), and a monitor doesn't work off the same power supply.

You'll be fine.
