Thatll be pretty badass. Very similar to my rig. I get MAD fps with mine. Onboard sound sucks balls. I thought that onboard 8 channel audio would be fine. It blows. Had a MSI k8n Neo2 which was OK. Then got the MSI k8n Neo4 SLI. This thing has great overclockin features AND has onboard SB audigy (has the same chip anyways) It even has a reset button for your CMOS battery. This means no more prying the battery out with a screwdriver when you OC too much! With hardware like that youll be very happy. IF you get the right sapphire card, you can flash the bios and turn an x800pro into x800 pro XTPE.

yeah the x850xt pe isnt much more expensive and can do a lot more, if you wanted to look into that. but still thats a sweet set up man. how much is it all costing? and you oughta get a new monitor that can get you a 1600 res to get the best of it.

The HDD I already have, so the cost for the rest of the parts (inc shipping) is around 880$;

And... new monitor? ^^;

That's why they invented christmas.
