How does this look?
Hey guys, after a lot of help with many members here I have put together a new build. I was thinking of what the rest of the community thinks
__________________ These are the specs: -Antec 1200 -Intel Core i7 920 -Asus P6T -Sapphire 4870x2 -Corsair 750tx -Pioneer DVD Drive/RW Dual Layer SATA -Seagate 500GB Barracuda SATA II 32MB -Undecided (probably the 6gb OCZ kit) How does it look? All your help is appreciated! (FYI, the budget is around $2000 CAD)

Looks good, I can't wait to get the Antec 1200 for my next rig, tell me how it is. I am no friend of ASUS so I would suggest either a DFI or Foxconn board, but to each his own. I'm not sure what others told you, but I wouldn't be comfortable CF'ing 2 4870's with just 750W...it's cutting it a little close so I'd get an 850W Antec PSU instead.
Other than that, enjoy your rig!

Thanks for the reply!
__________________Well I've always had Asus boards and they've been really good to me. Also its not a crossfire with the 4870's that the single 4870x2, and I'm pretty sure that the 750w would be enough. I've seen other OCN members with the same VGA card and PSU.

hmmm....that build is very similar to my i7 build plan...i also was debating about the X2 but in the end...i went with 2 4850s in Crossfire!they outperform both the 280 gtx and 4870X2 and its 4/10ths cheaper! :] get it!

Are you serious the 4850's in xfire beat the 4870x2?! Can I see proof of this? Btw, I love the antec 1200 mainly because of it's slick design and black interior. (Can't forget the free case fans
