How do I tell if my mobo has 2.1?
@Sir Ragealot
Should be mentioned in the mobo specs somewhere. Most likely you have 2.0 if it ain't that new, but the 2.1 update doesn't really impact performance - in fact it's more of an interim stage between 2.0 and 3.0, offering some extra management, support etc. but no real performance boost. And any 2.1 card should work just fine on 2.0, afaik.

I'm buying these 2

XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 Video Card - 1GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.1 (x16), Dual DVI, HDMI, 2x Mini Display Port, DirectX 11, Dual-Slot, CrossFireX Ready at TigerDirec*****m
For the 2nd one, should I pay $20 more to get 2GB?

The first is for my brother. 2nd for me.

Had to get a 2nd processor because I read reviews about not being able to use the 8-core until I update the BIOs.
I'll probably get a Glyph 1TB external hard drive for my music production library.
Is it all decent? I know 16GB RAM is overkill but it was within my budget.
