As my current rig:
3800x2
1GB DDR2-667
X1950pro
M2N32-SLi

seems to fail at running UT3/TF2 (25-45fps stable).

i was thinking of upgrading to:

Antech P182 (as my case is only just long enough for the x1950 (the gfx and HDD tough at the ends :( ))
E8400
Abit IX38
2GB DDR2-1066 Crucial Balistix
3870 (with upgrade to a second in the future)

will my Tagan TG600-U25 be able to run this rig with X-fire. 600w with 4x 20A rails (max of 48A combined)

hopefully this rig will provide me with the 100fps stable i want @ 1024x768.

TY for your responses in advance. p`tch
 
Can't you overclock the CPU and GPU? I get 60fps constant, not much faster than yours. 4400x2, 1900xt. 1680x1050 everything maxed out.
 
I get enough fps on TF2 with a X2 4200 , 2gig of ram, x1800xt @ 1280 x 1024 with everything maxed.

Correct me if im wrong, but don't you only see the benifits of crossfire at high res... like 1600 upwards?
 
Welcome to the forums, I think this option is about the same price or even a little bit cheaper but you have a much better graphics card and 4gb of Ram instead.
