The build looks pretty good. The PSU is overkill, though. This one would still easily power the system and save some $.

CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009&Tpk=850tx $124.99 - $30 MIR

That DFI board also seems to have a pretty high DOA rate. I would rather get this motherboard in a combo for even cheaper:

ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131359

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.213700 $479.98 (CPU + motherboard combo)

I totally agree with shortstuff,get P6T or P6T v2 deluxe.The extra $$ can come out from a lower PSU(a 800 W antec will suffice for 4890 Xfire)

Also agree on the P6T or P6T v2 Deluxe.


You should also get this PSU Power Extension cable. You will need it when going with a Bottom mounted PSU.

1ST PC CORP. 12" 8-pin EPS extension cable Model CB-8M-8F $7.99

Also you should check out the Combo deals NewEgg has for the P6T, like the example below.

This is Ram/Mobo combo which would save you $22
OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3G1600LV6GK - Retail

Core i7 920 CPU/Mobo combo which would save you $40

Dont tell me you are spending 1600 dollars on a system and putting a 7200rpm hard drive into it. If you have the budget get either a 10k or 15k rpm HDD or an SSD.
-and the asus that shortstuff recommended as your mobo is good, i'd go with that one
-Other then that looks pretty good

thank you for all the great responses!! I'm changing me PSU to the CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W and the motherboard to the ASUS P6T. I would like to get a fast hard drive but I'm not sure that I have the budget for it 🙁 I'm going to see about it though.

Thanks again for all the awesome replies!
