Hi guys just wanted to see if this "budget" build will work, and not light my house on fire. Since I don't see a lot of crossfire options in PCI E 2.0, I went the logical way with SLI. I'm planning on doing at least 3 screens. Also I've never done SLI or Crossfire before. Hell, last time I put something together was during P4 era. Man that's a long time ago lol. And as far as budgeting is concerned, well ...as low as possible? Hmmmm and not really into future proofing...
