I was wanting to upgrade my current computer and what do you think of this configuration

  1. Motherboard
  2. Memory
  3. CPU
  4. CPU Cooler

I wanted to get an Intel, but it would cost more than I wanted it to, $150.00 more. Also, what do you think of putting this video card in Crossfire mode?

  1. Video Card

Thanks

Because I would have to get a new PSU to go along with the video card. And besides, I will only buy the one card first and then buy the second in a few months when the prices go down.

The Core 2 Duo is about $90.00 more expensive
