everything looks ok but i don't see why your getting 5770 (x2) when you you could get one 5850 or spend just a little more and get one 5870.

OP here double post

All of your hardware will be compatible. The only problem I see is if you are going to SLI the 5770's you will need a bigger power supply; 850 watts is really pushing it for dual video cards and a 120mm CPU cooler.

good luck with your rig, that's a great case too!

"SLI the 5770's" FAil, the 5770's will be in CrossFire and 850 watts is plenty

this from AMD.com
"450 Watt or greater power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)"

great choices buddy, everything looks great except, as the others said, get a single better card rather than going for Crossfire right away....buy something single so that later in the PC's life u have a chance of upgrading with another card....like buy a 5850 now....then after some time when games dont run well and u have enough money u could go for another 5850 and put them in crossfire
