Hey, so I posted earlier on this site with the specs of the rig I was building but I have made quite a bit of changes. I would like anyone's advice to cut down a couple hundred bucks as I'm at 1650$ right now with taxes and have about 1500$ for the rig.
I mainly need advice on the case/power supply...if they will work well with everything and if there is enough cooling. I also want to crossfire with another hd4850 x2 in the future so take that into consideration. I'm not sure if my mobo can handle this quad crossfire though as it doesn't mention this. I'm going to overclock in the future, so I will buy a cpu cooler and thermal compound later for that.
Lastly, I need a suggestion for a sub 200$ lcd monitor that is bang for buck and will juice out my gpu and computer really well (1920 X 1080). Thanks!
