OK i have everything i need to build my pc except for the OS and vid card. What i have so far is 680i sli mobo, 2x2gig crucial balistix pc6400, 500gig seagate barracuda 32mb cache Hdd, Corsair TX750w PSU, Q6700 cpu, zalman heatsink, and a cheap floppy drive and dvd rom from current pc. I am ordering the graphics card sometime this month and have not fully decided. I will be hooking this pc up to a 24 inch monitor and would like to run games at 1960x1200, but i can settle for 1650x1050 (or whatever that res bracket is). I was thinking about a either a single gtx260(around $350) or a single 9800gtx+(around $230)
I am concerned that my cpu will bottle neck me with games anyways so im not sure if i should go 260 , but with the size of my monitor i am worried about running some games on a single 9800gtx. I want to go with a single card that will work now rather than 2 9600gts or something. Just so i can keep the slot open for an upgrade in a year or so. My psu also has 4 PCI-E connections, but i dont want to have to upgrade it either when i get a second card so i am a bit worried about 2 gtx260s being able to run off this TX750. Any advice ?
