How would you guys change this build?
The only thing i am concerned about is the Black Edition Memory. If i go to a upgraded processor in the future will there be problems.
I am new to this but stayed up till about 430 reading the posts last night and building my cart on newegg.
Overall goal is a good foundation that i can build on later. I am assuming that my single 5770 can be cheaply Xfired in the future or replaced with a stronger one, and that AMD is going to make 6 core processors in the future that will fit the AM3 socket/ 790 FX chipset. Below is my "shopping cart" build. So educate me.
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
