Right, my system specs are in my sig...
i was planning a massive upgrade, and i am going to get a Q9450 next month as well as new ram, but roundabout now, i am thinking of getting a new mobo for my system as well as a case since mine is falling to pieces...
I wanna spend about £300 in all this month, and i have gone for the Antec 900 case cos of the good airflow, and the price
i am however thinking of going SLI since i can get another GTS 320 for £140 inc VAT from overclockers.co.uk, and i was considering getting the Asus P5N-D motherboard because it supports yorkfield and dual X16 SLI...
I did consider moving stright to an 8800GT, however that would mean my GTS would sit around doing nothing, and to me that really isnt an option, and i think a dual GTS config would be able to kick the **** out of a single GT or a GTS 512 anyway...
my specs are below, and although getting another GTS would bottleneck my system now, it would help future proof it since this is the last upgrade i am making, before waiting about 3 years then getting a laptop for uni (im 15 now...and planning ahead xD)...
the other option for me is to opt for an X38 mobo and get a raid array of seagate 7200.11 drives (500GB) since they would fit in the same price category....
any suggestions?
PS i dont want to sell my GTS....
It served my loyally and i dont have the heart to get rid of it
