i doubt it, i think that some newer games have Crossfire compatibility already and i think by the end of the year it will be in majority of new games, i cant check because the newest PC games i have are CoDWaW and Sims 3, and Sims 3 is so graphics hungry... its about the only game i can actually play on my laptop :) and even that is at a struggle, stupid ass laptop

Lol, I don't think you'd like the people I play with xD I only play MW2 now for the sniping. BO is bull and always has been, it stopped being fun after 3 or so prestiges.

Hmm perhaps not lol, I used to love BF2 for the sniping, cause the maps are massive, and you could literally hide somewhere the other side of the map. n yeah black ops is proper pants.

Well, considering the demo's were layed on a single GTX 580, I'd say yes, although you might not get a constant 60 (more like a constant 45-50 with the occasional drop to 30)

PCS are usually happy to put in a side fan and usually do it themselves if they think that temperature may be a problem, if you have any old computers, try and take the fans out, i took mine out earlier today and gave them a good dust, they should hopefully work now if i install them, i recommend stealing whatever you can from an old PC you never use, im using the old hard drive, DVD drive, 2 fans and some laptop hard drives, shame i cant mod the laptop RAM to fit into DDR3 slots, that would be an extra 2GB free of charge :) although the different speeds will f*** it up
 
A stupid question I know, regardless.

The 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN Port that comes standed is indeed suitable for a wired Broadband connection to be connected to?
