So here's the skinny; I built my PC last august and it isn't bad but I want the cream of the crop when BF3 drops.
Here's the basics:
Palit GTX460 2gb <- This is where I'm looking to improve
Intel i7 930 - 2.8Ghtz (I've over-clocked to 3.5, any more and its not very stable)
6Gb DDR3 Corsair (Not dominator)
Asus P6x58d Premium mobo
Adata SSD
I can't decide on how to go about upgrading the video card. Basically, Its between getting a GTX570 and selling the 460 slash using it for running a TV or something, OR buying another Palit GTX460 2gb and doing SLI.
The SLI option is $100 cheaper, but I've heard a lot of bad things about Palit cards not scaling very well with SLI. On the other hand, I've also read an equal amount about how 460 SLI > 570 and maybe even 580 with the drawback of low memory (Not a problem for mine with 2gigs each)
I'm hoping someone here has some real experience in the matter because I'm tired of all the "I heard this" and the "I read this" crap that seems to be floating around the forums lately.
