Be gentle. This was my first build and I kind of did it all by the seat of my pants. Didn't spare to many expenses though.

Looks good. If you built it recently, personally I would have gone with a Radeon 5870 instead, but that 4870 X2 will serve you well for a long time.

I built it a year ago....on April the 20th. It was sort of a gift to myself. I haven't had any probs with the video card thus far. It's been nothing but a treat. It's crossfire ready but I don't really have the need to cross reference dual video cards...I played World of Warcraft and that's about as 'in depth' as I get into PC gaming. I just like computers.

Lol.. huuuuuge overkill for WoW! :D Up until last spring, I was running WoW on a p4 2.8, 2gb ddr2, 7600gs (AGP), and XP Home. :D

I am envious of your system though! I'd stick with Vista, it's miles better now than when it first was released.. make sure it's all updated (drivers also), and you should have no problems with it. :)

[burntheland]

I can't update it...if you catch my drift. :s

[farlo]

nice quality build, patriot memory is good stuff.

[burntheland]

I was pretty happy with it. Especially the way it matched my mobo :D

[SXRguyinMA]

you'll be more than happy with that 4870x2. I've got 2 3870x2's in crossfire and its schaweet 8)

[burntheland]

lol...Yeah man, if i could drop the cash to liquid cool that bad boy and ditch on some of the fans i would get another and crossfire it. Granted my case stays pretty cool I don't run enough sweet stuff to have the need for it at the moment.

I've got a pair of koolance 3870x2 full-coverage waterblocks...not sure if they'll fit the 4870x2 though

[burntheland]

I can find out later. How much you want for them out of curiosity?

[SXRguyinMA]

$40 each or $70 for the two
