Will 2x 5850s work in this rig?

Hi

I’m giving very serious thought to ordering this tomorrow:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-252-OK&groupid=43&catid=1444&subcat=

I run servers all day so I cannot really be bothered tweaking overclocking when I get home, I just want to game

Anyway the one question I have is about crossfire. I’m going with the 5850, but if I decided to get a second 5850 later this year will they both fit on the motherboard? Reviews I have read of the 5850 said they are a wide card and you need space to run 2 of them.

I should probably find a site about power consumption as well to make sure the PSU can handle it as well.

Cheers

the motherboard that comes with that pc is the LX version which does not support crossfire.

Why not just get 1x 5850 and a SSD.

D'oh thanks

I had read all about the GPU, but did not read up about the motherboard. Sorry
