    I was originally going to build something else but i started messing around with a core i7 build and its only a few hundred more so this is what i came up with not sure how compatible everything is but i have a case and an os already so just need some advice on the rest. also not sure weather to go with a single gpu or crossfire/sli this rig will be used mostly for gaming so let me know what you guys think.

    I wouldn't consider SLI, not like that anyway. If you want SLI, wait a couple of weeks until the GTX295 is released, or buy a Radeon HD4870X2.
