Did i make a Mistake with this new pc build???

[Matson]

Hi there i would really aprechiate some advice, a couple days ago i ordered myself a new pc with 2 5870 in crossfire. I picked a i7 860 cpu which obviously comes with the p55 motherboard.
Was this a bad decision as ive read up and found out multi gpus dont scale aswell with this setup.

I still have the oppertunity to change the order as they wont have the cards in for a few weeks yet so i have time.

Would it be better to change the cpu to a i7 920 and a x58 motherboard?

yeah thanks for that, theres obviously a difference but as you said its very Minimal. Since i have the oppertunity to switch to the 920 though do you think i should do that or just stick with the 860.

thanks again

yeah its definatly mainly for gaming, i don't do a lot of video editing ect, I just wanted to make sure i get the most out of having 2 5870 in crossfire, so it would seem the 860 will be fine for that then
