Your CPU and GPU WILL NOT be crossfire compatible.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/20106...roved-cpu.html This says it can though, unless I'm reading it wrong.

So you're saying a Mercedes only part will function in a BMW car? :|

I'm talking about this btw http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zsMe

My apologies. I feel dumb now (thought you had the parts in that). ><

Either way;

The Intel-build will be stronger once you get a hold of a good high-end GPU. The CPU is top-tier at this moment.

The AMD-build will be stronger right now, because in combination of X-fire, it'll give a very good gaming experience if X-fire is properly supported.

For optimal performance, everyone I know uses 1866 memory. Even without a card, they play GW2 on full at 60+ fps. It looks pretty good for being only onboard.

I have personally noticed the difference from switching 1600 to 1866. Replaced a friend's memory in his A10 rig and was very impressed.

Edit: eh.. that damn site you got does no even show the MB I plan on using.
