Im looking to upgrade my system with a new SLI motherboard, another gpu to go along with it, and a new CPU for better gaming.
Currently i've got a Prescott (pentium 4 630) 3ghz, wondering if it is a good investment to move over to an AMD chip like the x2 3800+ or FX-53 (939) at the same time i switch over to a sli motherboard. Also, right now i have a 256mb nvidia 6800 (325mhz). Would it be a good idea to get a second one for SLI? or should i just get two new GPU's. Would two 6800's provide enough juice to run a game like Battlefield 2 at high res etc.?
Right now im looking at an Asus a8-n sli mobo, but would it be worth it to buy a motherboard with full 16x/16x instead of the split 8x/8x?
And lastly, will my ATX Case support a AMD compatible motherboard?
Any advice or other cpu's/gpu's/mobo reccomendations would help.
