    At one point I'm gonna scrap my mobo because it only has 1 PCIe 16x slot - and in the long run I wanna run two 6850's in Crossfire. For the time being I'm just gonna get a single 6850 and run that. I've taken a lot out of this thread and did a ton of research. I understood most things when I built this machine to an extent, but because of this thread and the needs of FFXIV I really got the idea of a 'modern gaming machine'. Thanks a lot for all the help.

    I do believe I helped suggest the Excalibur server name! http://forum.square-enix.com

    Your wrong it does support it but for CF to work you gotta run the game in Fullscreen.

    Moving to a 6850 is overkill for that cpu and youll need a better psu but if you plan on upgrading the cpu/mb later and keeping the gfx seems a good choice. I recomend you get a psu from a decent brand specialy if you planning on CF later on. Seasonic/Corsair/Antec/XFX with 650/750w for a quadcore/6850 CF should be ok.
