Well, basically im upgrading and ive done a bit of research and had a look at some things i could buy and i was wondering if these products are a good choice :
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition 3.0GHz (Socket AM2+) - Retail CPU
Asus M3N-HT Deluxe HDMI nForce 780a SLi (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard Motherboard
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Platinum Series DDR2 (OCZ2P10664GK) OR Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB) Supplied with Airflow Fan (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF) (not sure about these, heard there overpriced)
Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant Power Supply OR Corsair TX 850W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant Power Supply if i have enough money
I am planning on going SLI with GTX 260's soon and was wondering, it says this on the motherboard specifications : - 3 x PCIe x16 support NVIDIA 3-Way SLI Tech @ dual x16 or tripple x8
does that mean itl run x16 in SLI but x8 on tri SLI? im sure it does but it also says : 2 x PCIe x16 support NVIDIA SLI Tech @ dual x8 mode
so thats got me a bit confused, all help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, lukas.
EDIT : would i be better going with this PSU Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply since its modular, or would the 750 last longer?
