I already have monitor/keyboard/dvd drive/hdd storage. I have win 7 pro retail just need help moving it from my old computer to my new one. And is it possible to run a 4 monitor setup off of one 6950?

Thanks for the help guys let me know what changes you think I should make if any.
 
The parts themselves are fine

However a few things:
1) Those prices factor in MIR. Really don't think MIR should be factored in.

2) Shipping costs for the HSF negates whatever savings you get by getting it from SuperBiiz. In fact, it's a $1 cheaper to get that HSF from Newegg.

3) You're not take advantage of Newegg combo deals. You can save about $17 from this PSU + GPU combo:

Unless you need firewire, you can save anoter $17 with this combo:
$330 - Intel Core i5 2500K CPU + MSI P67A-G43 Intel P67 ATX Motherboard Combo

Pcpartpicker.com did the prices/rebates thing I understand what you are saying.

I will prob grab the i5 2500k from microcenter for $179.99 + Tax

Is the only difference between the G45 and G43 boards firewire support? And is the G43 crossfire compatible?

Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate it.

After reading some of the reviews on newegg seems like these MSI boards have problems when crossfired because of the video cards blocking the SATA ports. Is this something to be concerned about? Can someone suggest a similar board that might not have this problem?

Thanks for the fast reply and info I appreciate it.

It will cost you more money:
$180 - MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 ATX Motherboard

The perpendicular SATA ports should not have that problem.
