Hi I currently have a PC that I built with a 2600k and a GTX 570. Since NVIDIA sucks balls for mining I was wondering if it would be possible to put an AMD card in there too? I would be running the display off and gaming off the GTX 570 and mining with the AMD. Can you do that?

As I understand it, you shouldn't mix cards from those two vendors.  Always causes driver trouble and such IIRC.
Tired of substandard power distribution in your ASIC setup???   Chris' Custom Cablez will get you sorted out right!  No job too hard so PM me for a quote

I've seen some people say you can but if I remember correctly it requires a custom bios or something, not really worth the hassle in my opinion.

Nice build.  You definitely shouldn't mix cards.
