Hi there, this is the first time I'm building a computer and I have a budget of 600-650, I was wondering if this setup was alright and if it was all compatible. Also, I'd like a motherboard that's crossfire compatible because I'd like to buy another GPU in the future, any recommendations are welcome, thank you! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2uEWu
 
Solution
as far as motherboards go i think this would do the job nicely as it is crossfire compatible-http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3
but i would strongly suggest you buy the AMD FX-6300 as your CPU as Amazon have a brilliant deal on at the moment-http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1388877623&sr=1-1&keywords=AMD+FX-6300

Would agree on both counts above^. The FX-6300 would be much better for gaming. And having a Crossfire compatible motherboard would give a better option later down the road if you find a single card can't quite cut it anymore.
