Look good to me although you really should get the Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3056) (GX-047-CO) Price: £169.95 (£199.69 Including VAT at 17.5%) which is cheaper that the sapphire.

Cheers didnt notice that.

Is the mobo/ram/cpu a combo that works okay without any conflicts (that was my main concern).

Ive also got a Antec P150 with 480w antec psu, is that going to be man enough to power that?

hey nice to see

combo is good, the 975X boards best suits a conroe.

im not a real fan of the zalman cooler, have you looked at the sythe and others?

Antec should be fine with a single xt

Is it possible to go crossfire and does it work well with the above bits i would be ordering?

Tetras · 27 Aug 2006 at 13:17

The board is crossfire compatible, you'd need an X1900 mastercard to go with the X1900 and a new PSU too.

If it was me I'd swap the hard drive for a Seagate 7200.10 and go for the HIS X1900 XT ICEQ 3 instead.

maddness · 27 Aug 2006 at 13:23

yes its a crossfire board, ive been using the setup. should work well with a conroe.
