So I've been building pc's for awhile but haven't built a new one in about 5 years, so I'm a little behind on these new fangled devices. :)
Here's what I'm thinking of buying next week. I am mostly a gamer playing WoW and a few others. I also have a Raptor hard drive ready to throw in here. I'm trying to stay right around $600.00 and I think all together I'm at $580 with these parts. My biggest question is with the video card because I hear so much about Crossfire but I don't know if it's necessary to have 2 cards right now.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor
mushkin 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory - x2
MSI N9800GT 512OC GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Thanks!
