Well, I would recommend first of all that you get a bigger psu if you plan on crossfire. Second, if your going for a crossfire rig, go with the 920 and an x58 board, if single gpu, go for the 860 and a p55 board. As far as boards go, I personally would go with an evga or asus. Gigabyte's CS has been lacking lately and I hear those two companies are the best. As far as ram goes, any ddr3 1600 ram will work wonders. Hope this answers all your questions. If you have any more, feel free to ask or PM me.
