If your looking to crossfire the 4870 later on, the X48 is the way to go.

get the 4850 its got slightly more power to it so will last u longer and u can always get another one later and crossfire them.johnny27

1 step ahead of you :P

[QUOTE="slyr114"]nokillerkane246

How so because im planning on ordering the GX2 but i heard from some people that the radeon was better

Two HD4850s will out-perform a 9800gx2, for a smaller pricetag too.

Looks good to me, the only thing I would change is the OS to 64bit.zaku101

Yes, but, not many games are designed for 64bit OS. lots are geared towards 32 bit, and then the 64bit has to translate everything, to 32bit, and it will bog down the performance. from what i hear.
