Im looking to buy a new video card for my new build. The type of video card depends on the motherboard, SLI or Crossfire. What card would u recomend 7900gt and a sli motherboard or a x1800xt with a crossfire motherboard. Price is not that big of a deal i can fit both of these cards in to my buget. I have a antec 500 watt psu, Im hopeing to play games such as bf2, oblivon, css, graw, flatout 2.
