Well? What do you guys think?I was trying to build a good rig now, with a little room to grow later(ie, Crossfire Support, Socket AM3, and easy OC ability) With all this and a monitor, Speakers, and Keyboard and mouse, This build is gonna dig in at about $1300...ouch! But i think itll be worth it.......Thanks in advance.....

Looks good. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I haven't had any experience with Xclio, so I can't say anything about them.

Yeah i havent heard much either, but i liked the look of that case and loved the fans,so i just went by the customer reviews on new egg,crossing my fingers on the power supply, but i got a $30 discount for buyin em together lol . :)

the radeon hd 5770 recommends a 600 watt power supply to crossfire.
