Another Spec Check Please

Thoughts on the below? Not going to up grade after this for a long time so thinking the Quad may last longer. Already got a 4870 1GB and a Cors. 620w

Will be hapy with a 3.2GH, is that achievable with the below?

You've helped a lot, thanks for the tips, I am thinking of a future crossfire so is the x38 worth it...saying that i have read that 8x8 on the p45 is as good as 16x16 on the x38...i just don't know what to do!

It wont really matter, your eyes cant possibly tell the difference

is that in response to 8x8 v's 16x16?

I've almost talked myself getting the p45 board and putting the cash towards a Q9550...(if i did this would i need better ram?)

Thanks all
