Yeah that was my plan later on, to buy a dedicated sound card and buy an extra 5770 for CF, but since I saved up quite awhile for this comp (1 1/2 years :D), it will probably be later on in the road until I buy those things. My only regret is, I think that I bought a monitor that is too big for my system lol. You guys think I can run latest games (GTA 4, PES 11, Fifa 11, MW2, Black Ops) on highest settings and 1920x1080 res with the current setup I have now?
