Been prowling around for a while trying to decide between buying a pre-built system or building my own. Inspired by all the great advice i have recieved and been able to glean from copius amounts of readin so far from the community on this forum, im going to try and build it myself...not built anything since AGP so this might be interesting 
Was wondering what people thought of this system. Basically it's a 4870 with what i hope are good options for crossfire if I ever need it in the future.
