Could you also recommend a Crossfire compatible powersupply for the rig? Thanks in advance. :)
For the power supply, I'd probably opt for the Corsair TX650w.
As for the Crossfire connector, you usually get one with the graphics card, so you should not only have one, you should also have an extra. As for the differences, just warranty and bundles at this point. It's too early to see any real aftermarket coolers or serious deviations from the reference card. Sapphire is considered one of the most reliable ATI board partners, but Visiontek is now offering a lifetime warranty, something ATI hasn't seen since the X850 days. I'd probably go with Visiontek myself.
