I believe the P8P67 doesn't do x8/x8 crossfire. The info is wrong if it says so.

You would need the PRO version at least for proper crossfire.
 
Thanks guys, I actually thought that bundle was with the pro version so thanks for that correction. An ssd will probably be my first upgrade a bit later.

Why not go with this? Crossfire HD6870's (so immense speed), cooler that will let you get 4.6+GHz, and what is, imo a better case (looks better to me, cools very well, and has good cable management).
