the items with the **** will be replaced, and i will be adding a ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 with 1GB Memory for a Crossfire configuration (unless you see a problem with that…?)
my proposed replacement mother board is the Gigabyte LGA1366 SATA3 ATI CrossFireX ATX Motherboard GA-X58A-UD3R (found at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00…F8&me=&seller= )
the proposed replacement for the power supply is a Lifetime Series Pro 750W Psu (found at http://www.amazon.com/Lifetime-Serie…?tag=klnprk-20 )
my question to you is; will these upgrades even be compatible with my computer, will it work, will it over heat, basically any input you can add, will be very highly appreciated
thank you for your time!
