So I've slept about four hours over the past two days or so looking at a million different set ups for my first build. So far I've solidified the fact that I'll be running an AMD II X4 955 and a MSI 790FX-GD70 for the mobo.
My dilemma now seems to be what PSU/GPU to run that wll allow me to continue to upgrade in the future. I'm definately going to skip the Dx 11 GPUs seeing as there aren't really any titles that appeal to me as of yet and the price/availability seems a little ridiculous.
The mobo I chose has quad Crossfire and runs x16/x16 in dual (x8/x8/x8/x8 in quad). My question is, if I plan on running quad CF in the near future will it slow the performance all that much if it's x8/x8/x8/x8 (and I understand that if I run this that I will definately need a solid/reliable PSU to power four cards)?
