Currently have an amd 955 at 3.2ghz but can overclock as I have an antec ku ler 920
8gig of corsair dominator ram but my HD4890s I had in cf have just died.
A radeon 7970 is a bit out of my price range.
Yeah I'll stay with amd to potentially take advantage of crossfire again. Have some doubts about it tho considering skyrim is my most played game and its not even crossfire capable.
