Im thinking I might pick up one of these instead of the 5870 and wait for the prices to fall and pick up another for crossfire. Here is a huge question I have though: Can you test an AMD card on an triple AAA system? Meaning, Amd CPU, Amd Chipset (790x), and an AMD gpu? I would be curious to see the...

Re: Having trouble selecting a case
