In some men my age, these heart palpitations might mean a trip to the emergency room, but in my case it's because I ordered my gaming rig today. Thanks to all on the forum who helped me hone my build. Pretty sure it's gonna play Pac-Man just fine :)

You should ask them to OC your memory also, that way you will get the fan for them too ;) other then that, its a great build

Yeah as DST4ME said, get a OC memory since it gets you a memoryfan which looks sweet =P
also maybe upgrade the power supply for future components to run well with it since you might crossfire the 4870x2 in the future?(Don't know the power needed for each 4870x2 so if its less than the 280 then don't worry.) |

Stage 4. Woohoooo!
Talked to Alex at DS, he said I could get the fan without overclocking the memory, so that's what I did. A mere $20 extra.

This is why DS is great, other places would not have saved you the $$$

Yep, and for the $35 they didn't get from me they bought tons of confidence that in the future when they tell me I that really do need something I'll believe I really do need it.
