Something not ridiculous, but future proof and nice to overclock.

Is USB 3.0 a must have?
Will Crossfire or SLI be a must have?....that is killing me I can save $100 going with 1 PCI-E slot and I don't think the performance will ever be their...but the possibility of 2 monitors in intriguing

usb and sli/xfire are not must haves depending on what you're doing and what's your budget.

Let us know what you plan to use the computer for and what's your budget.
