well im a litle lost on what i want to do. im getting my last pay from working this summer and its a 444$ paycheck, now futureshop actually has decent prices lately and im debatin with myself if i should upgrade gpu or not, is there many gpu's out there i will notice a diference with? or is there another point in my pc i should invest money in, im trying to make this thing last as long as it can. i could do water cooling to.
im also a litle bumed my xfx 8800gts g92 has shot up to over 350$, which is retarded.

i said i have to avoid going online. so my dad wont get mad at me for spending money on my comp.

were you thinking of SLIing another card? if so, buy a cheaper one and overclock it.
EDIT* those prices are ludicrous.

out of those three i'de definantley go with a GTX 260 if not then a 9800gtx+. i hate it when my parents get like that where they wont let my spend time on my computer or if i want to spend all of my money on pc parts. i think they get mad cause i know more about computers then they do.

 

[Poizen22]

i was gonna sli my 8800gts but the price jumped up liek crazy i think il just go with the gtx260 decent price, and the 9800gtx+ sli is a litle over spending.

 

[Nagasama]

since your card is going for so much now, sell it and get the 9800gtx sli.

So don't use your dad's credit card? Go to a bank, buy a prepaid visa card, and buy it from newegg, 400$ oh my lanta that is expensive for the 4870...Or even make a paypal account?
