Right this is my current build setup. It's build for mainly gaming (World of warcaft, League Of Legends, Battlefield, Minecraft) little bit of everything I just want to be able to download things and be able to play them on decent graphic settings with good FPS.

I need help replacing the items that have been missed.

Case : HAF X

Mobo : NONE (£100 Budget)

CPU : AMD 980 Black Edition 3.7 GHz

CPU COOLER : Freezer pro 13

RAM : Corsair 8GB or G. SKILL 8GB ???

GPU : I have no idea.. Was looking at the 6870's and buying one then another later to crossfire it but meh, I really dont know. (£160 - £180) budget. + This needs HDMI connectivity as I'm using a HD monitor.

PSU : Coolmaster GX 750W

HARD-DRIVE : Western Digital 1TB + 300GB + 320GB

DVD : Blu ray



Any help is appreciated thank you.

This is a great choice for a motherboard.

The 6870 is an excellent card, but if you could spring for the 6950 you would really have a great gaming rig.

Thanks, will that be compatible with x2 6950's in the future as I am deciding to crossfire soon after I have the extra cash for a second card.

Also is there enough ports within the motherboard to support all of the fans on the HAF X case?

Also which brand of 6950 do you recommend ( Which can be OC'ED)

yes, it supports CrossfireX.

The case fans will be connected via molex connectors from the power supply.

For gpu brands, stay with name brands like MSI, HIS, XFX, Sapphire, Gigabyte, Asus, or PowerColer. I like MSI a lot. XFX is known for their Lifetime Warranties (I don't know about outside the United States).
