alright i got my build finally made

MOTHERBOARD---ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890FX---- $175

GRAPHICS CARD----XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit DDR5--$260

and then the rest is the same as my last build total with S&H is $800.93 but its ganna be right around $900 after i get my hard drive, ram , and chipset fans and a few other small things.... i might get a case also wich will put me at like $1000-$1050 but o well

one last question if i decide to get two HD 6870's what does that actually do just make it eazier on the graphics cards or make it faster or what i dont really get the whole SLI thing and thats why i got the 890fx becuz i read that it will run both cards at 16x not 8x and 8x but i cant frekkin wait this pc is ganna blow starcraft 2 out the water and i havent even played it yet so im stoked
