hope that worked

main things id like opinions on are the graphics card, motherboard and case.

the size of the HDD doesnt matter to me since i already have a external 2tb HDD. Also im thinking of getting a ssd, however im on a tight budget, could be something i get in the future though .

Anyways im new to this so i have no idea about the majority of things, any help is appreciated, thanks.

i like the suggested build however i would prefer a motherboard and graphics card capable of crossfire/SLI, and the one you've chosen isn't. whats a good graphics card that is crossfire capable? Cause i quite like your build, and my plan is to buy 1 decent graphics card crossfire capable, then when i upgrade buy another identical graphics card . Also does the case have dust filters and fans included ect? I cant find that info anywhere. Thanks.



which build has slow ram? Im thinking of getting the corsair vengance 2133mhz 2x4gb, is that better?

That ram is the best and i have nvidia gtx 570's sli and they work well together but they might be pricy still.

Your GPU is Crossfire compatible

Also, I would get some better RAM. I got 8GB of G.Skill Ripjaws @ 1600 Mhz for $46.

if you read my other posts i think im going to get corsair vengance 2133 2x4gb ram, and also i know my gpu is crossfire compatible but im wondering is it a good one? is there any better for similar price?

also with the case, i like that cause its got good air flow, lots of ports, tidy wiring and lots of fans and dust filters. if you have any suggestions though id appreciate it, i need dust filters in though and lots of fans since where it will be going will be dusty.
