I was orginally thinking of a i7 920 build but realized I could save money by going amd phenom. This is what I have so far. I have not built a computer before so please make any suggestions or tell me if something I chose is incompatible. I do not plan on OC'ing at all. If you see any potential bottlenecks or where I went over board let me know. Should I ditch one of the GPU's and not go crossfire with this current setup? Will the PSU I chose be able to handle 2 of those Graphics cards? Also please suggest cheap and decent memory. Remember I wont OC so if I can go cheaper on the mobo let me know and suggest.
