And with that solution comes with another possible problem. These Graphics Cards have 2 6-pin sockets in them. Do both of those have to be plugged in for one to work or can I just plug one 6-pin in? As in do I need 4 6-pin plugs to work both of them at once? Cuz my PSU only has 2 6-pins.

omg man. Thank you I would have never found those. I've been staring at this from Bird's eye view for the last 4 hours. Completely didn't see the possibility of there being some off to the side. Wow. Thanks man.

Was looking around and found some Sata Cables that bent 90 degrees. Gonna see if my local computer store has any and if they are small enough. Otherwise I guess I'll be looking for another Mother Board. T_T.

This is my first time building my computer and it was going pretty good until I tried to put in my graphics card. My Sata connections to my CD/DVD rom and Hard drive were in the way. So I can't fit my top graphics card if I want a CD drive or Hard Drive and vice versa apparently. Can someone find me a solution to this problem without having to get a new motherboard?

This is my Motherboard

And this is my graphics card

I actually have 2 of those since I was planning on Crossfire-ing them but obviously won't work if I can't fit one in the top slot.

Me and my friends are building me a new gaming computer and we decided on crossfiring 2 5830s. But before that we already chose a EVGA p55v motherboard and we can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere if it can support Crossfire or not. Can it?

Don't much like fritos. Although I do love Tab and Mountain dew. (internets for people who get this.)

So unanimously y'all say replace the Intel with an AMD that's equal in value but less pricey. Makes perfect sense if there truly is no difference in performance. One of you says to get a cheaper video card and another says to get a better one. And get a cheaper case. Possibly a cheaper motherboard. Anything else? And thanks for the input. :D

I found this site that's apparently a "how to build" site. It also lists 3 builds. The mid range one is within my price range what do you guys think of it? http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/gaming-desktop-computer.html
