Just to clarify, I completely understand your point warlord. I'm just saying that it's not something that overclockers generally need to worry about unless they're literally at the extreme edge of overclocking.
I won the auction.
So if I keep this video card for 2-3 years, should I crossfire HD 5850s in the future if prices ever drop below $150? Just wondering, would a Corsair HX 650 suffice for multi-GPU systems? And if you think I should just use one video card, please tell me before I buy a Corsair TX 650.

I'm planning a new build at the moment, but I don't do it very often so i'm a bit out of the loop and looking for opinions. I'm looking to do an AMD/ATI build since CrossFire seems a more economical option than SLI.
Current build:
Motherboard - ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Memory - 4GB Generic DDR
Graphics - BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC
PSU - CoolerMaster Real Power M1000 (1kW)
Planned build:
Motherboard - MSI 890FXA-GD70 £165.15 (~$250)
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz £128.50 (~$195)
Memory - 4GB Corsair TwinX XMS3 Classic £120.97 (~$183)
Graphics - PowerColor HD 5830 PCS Edition £164.49 (~$248)
PSU CoolerMaster Real Power M1000 (1kW)
GTX460 is out restart recommending nvidia cards http://www.anandtech.com/show/3809/n...0-the-200-king
Competes with the 5830 and usually outdoes it at the same price

After reading that thing about circuit degradation I was wondering. What would the lifespan of my I7 920 be if it's clocked at 3.6ghz? Is that too much or is it fine? This computer runs pretty much 24/7 and I have a bigass fan in there. (I think it was a cooler master?)
