Re: best PSU/SMPS for config
go for it if you can find but useless. it got 4 odd placed PCIeX16 slots. & it works in X16, X8, X4, X1 or say X8+X8. so better invest in MSI 890GX. you'll save some money.
fully agreed. it'll cause more confusion, not for OP but for the others who suggesting him.
try one of the boards released by MSI having Lucid Hydra onboard or you can search for board having Nforce NF100 chip.

@jas, Lucid Hydra support upto AMD+Nvidia+Nvidia. so if you remove the AMD card, won't you get SLI?

dude just listen IMO avoid asus
many people in this forum have got asus mobos with some probs.....
you can always add a expansion card with sata3 and usb3 later ....this is not mainstream today
sam
yar now from where lucid hydra has come into picture.....the mobo i suggested (MSI NF980-G65) is sli supporting..gtx460 sli really rocks dude..at 24k you are getting hd5970 performance......
otherwise go for hd5850 crossfire @ 31k

Hi,
i am in indore (India)
I am getting ASUS CIVF in 11446/- Only
and
ATI Radeon HD 5830 1 GB in 12870/- Only
my budget (total) is approx 40000/- (as i need to upgrade my system, i do not required HDD, Optical Media/CD-DVD Writer/Drive, and cabinet and PSU, no monitor and no input device required.i have Zebronics 400W PSU.
40000/- is only for Mobo, Processor, RAM and two GPU (SLI or Crossfire => "let me know which one is best").
let me know which is best, as i am using AMD and Asus from last 8 years. i did not found any problem in ASUS yet.
About Usage => Extreme Gaming, Server testing (SharePoint, OCS, Exchange, Virtualization -multi OS, Linux Servers etc)
Thanks

CIVF isn't available for that price......that must be CIIIF! The market price for CIVF is 16K & above, where as the for CIIIF is around 12K! This happened with my friend also, they went to inquire for CIVF, & they were told this price & they didn't even have CIVF! CIVF only on order & it takes around 4weeks(depending on when the shipment arrives).
PS: i know the main distributor/the main supplier for Asus thats why i know this info!

you'll have to change your SMPS, first of all its Zebrnonics, 2nd its 400W! if you power up your system with this SMPS, your whole system would be fried coz of low quality, low wattage PSU!!!!
plus your going for CF, you'll need a really good power supply! Also which cabinet you have?

^^ not valid for all. just look for the back & check if the exhaust is big. if most hot air goes out, from where heat issues will come? this type of small exhaust common to both Palit & Zotac. & so both are hot cards. not only from outside but from inside as well.
