crossfire rebuild

[fudoken]

right it's time to get rid of my old set up (not enough grunt for 1440p ) and I'm very tempted to go crossfire.

i will be reusing my old case, ram, os, dvd drive and hdd's.

What is your old case etc? It's quite a large PSU.

If you can afford it, buy a SSD for your OS, one of the best purchase I did when I upgraded part of my PC a couple week back. Start up time is so much faster then before and all seem to much quicker as well.

Not an expert on SSD but seen people suggesting this Crucial one for £79.99 (out of stock for the moment though but depending on when you be buying it, might be back in stock then.) Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1)

I bought the Intel ones though, they were on weekly deal when I bought my parts. =)
