Help with system please

Hi I am looking to buy a top of the line gaming system for around 5k. Can you please review my system specs for conflict? I think I might need to upgrade the motherboard for crossfire, but I am not sure.  Also what does "turbo cool edition" mean on the power supply? I wanted 2 good video cards that were reasonably priced for about 2 gigs, is crossfire almost as efficient as SLI? Does my warranty cover future upgrades for my computer so I can get free labor for the upgrades and only pay for the costs of shipping and parts? Also what is the difference between stage 2 and stage 3 cooling?

Thank you

Last question is it possible for overclocking to cause problems for me down the road even when it is done by a professional? Cause I would not be able to fix problems on my own cause I don't know wtf i am doing.

Thank you

Hey John,

I actually have a little input too...

If you're going with air cooling, go with the 850si case, it's a -much- better air cooled case, the 950 is more for water cooling.

As for the crossfire? don't bother, skyR is right, nVidia has -much- better video cards out right now.

Besides that, I think you only other thing to mention is, you have 4GB of RAM selected and only a 32bit OS. For $15 upgrade to Vista Ultimate 64bit edition and you'll be good to go.

DS will cover the card we sold you. But say the card you put in shorts out the motherboard...then I believe we won't cover that...does that make sense?

DSO finds a safe overclock for you, it may not always be a huge performance increase, but they do make sure that your system will be overclocked as much as the system configuration you have can handle. Meaning.. If there is an over-heating issue trying to overclock too much, they will take it down until its at a safe and stable level.
