First build... need opinions

I'm not really sure on the mobo and the ram. The mobo is in a deal w/ the HD 4850 which lowers the price significantly. Is the PSU enough to enough to eventually upgrade to crossfire GPU's (if there is enough room in the case)? What would you rate this build?

The ram and mobo are fine.

And yes the PSU should support with no trouble 2 4850 in crossfire,

All looks fine.

PSU is more than capable for 2x HD4850 as well.

Pretty hot. Might want to wait and see some 4870 reviews though. WDT-BlackKat

The HD4870 reviews have been out a while.

I don't think I want to spend the extra $100 on the 4870... if I wanted to the 4850 and 4870 work in crossfire, correct?fatherearth

is your budget 1,000USD or a bit more??

Very good choices, except for the hard disk. For the same price you can get the Western Digital 640 GB which is quieter, faster, bigger and more energy efficient than the Barracuda.
