Ok, now I'm going back and forth on this and I apologize... How about this idea.. Instead of getting the 295 right now save a little longer, don't sell my video cards, but rather sell off my current mobo, cpu, and memory to put towards a i7 cpu, mobo, and memory..
I know it would be more than the gtx 295 but would the money be better spent there? Any suggestions as to what I should look at buying? I know the i7 920 but what board and memory... Would I need a new heatsink or will my existing work for the i7 as well?
Keep in mind that it will be for gaming, oc'ing, and would like to keep my options open to sli and crossfire in the future to keep the upgrade of video easier in the future.
Is it possible to do this for under $650 or so?
