I would drop the 7870 crossfire and just go for one 7950 and add another later on. get a xigmatek dark night istead of that seidon. seidons are terrible most aircoolers beat them.

First of all big hello to NZ.   :-)

If you're dead set on crossfire, go for it. That case is incredibly horrible to make look tidy. Everything else works together though.

For that price of the 2 cards you could get a nice gtx770 or 7970.

Ive had crossfire before. When it works its very good, when it doesnt its a right pain in the arse as most often than not you are forced to disable the 2nd card in order for things to display correctly.

Up to you though so best of luck.

You sir ar either a troll or a moron.

little troll mostly being an asshole for pomsons' idiocy using crossfire, given how bad crossfire setups are.

what? use context dude.

Im getting crossfire 7870 because i already have a 7870 and the 7950's are not currently available where i live (And it looks cool).

Also i im thinking about a h100i instead

11

Since i have a 7870 already it's not and the 7970  is 700$ and the gtx 770 is 800$ (in nz atleast) and would a nzxt nzxt phantom be better?

12

Also i plan to use a 2560x1440 monitor

13

well get a 780 for 2560x1440p

So if you already have a 7870 then why are you including that cost in the parts list, really you have an extra $230 right?
