It also can handle the CPU I want to get, AMD FX-9590. I am buying a few things each month so I can afford to pay more for a better system. I am thinking of doing cross-fire on the video cards. Looking to spend about $150 each on the video cards. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Scott Blair: Thanks, Scott Blair USMC Defending your freedoms since 10 November 1775 Save on backup time "BackupDevice=Null" If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them.</pre> </body> </html>
