Try reading the first post.

I have roughly 300 maybe more if needed but i'd need to know i is worth it.

I've never had crossfire problems other than overclocking.

Dunno if this is related but in COD MW 2 i get strange jumps of lag when walking around a map, like its loading them from the HDD. I moved all my steam games to another HDD and still getting this, could this be related to HDD problem or more likely GPU?

I'm still stuck between the two, if only i had more moneys

It seems to disappear after ive done all this once, like its loading the map for the first time ( i formated not long ago ) so i guess its a HDD thing. what size SSD should i go for it i do?

I maybe able to goto 400 odd just, so i could get 5850 and what's a decent ssd to go with it?

I think you make a excellent point. I think i may go with some new old fashioned magnetic disks. like 2 F3's. and get the 5870..

but i do play on 1920 x 1080.

Hmm choices choices!

Thank you for honesty and not a recommendation on the bias they are fast but also do cost a lot. I think i will do with the caviar blacks and 5850.

AA-69-72 what resolution do you play at?
