I am currently looking into building a DREAM GAMING system... My current System is over 4 yrs old and time for a new one... I have about a $2000.00 (+,-) budget
I have been reading this forum for about three weeks and I get so many different ideas about GPU... First of all I have Dual Monitors and I love to have them for my new build... From what I have read the SLI does not do this and Crossfire does.... Is this true??? Also with all the different types of motherboards out there. What would be the best choice for this set up?? And what is up with having three PCI exp. slots??? Is this for three GPU???
In the past I have always been a fan of the AMD, but it looks like Intel has got their stuff together so this motherboard will probably be an Intel as well... as for the CPU, would you just stick with the Q6600 or get the newer version like the Q9550, Q9450, Q9300, or the Q6700?
I am one of these guys that will spend big at first but want it to last several years.... Or until the system can no longer support the games that I play... and Yes this system will be for gaming...
It looks like the GTX280 is the highest ranking card out there... I know buying two of these would be an overkill but it is only money... But at the same time if it won't dual I am really not that interested, but might sacrifice depending what the majority says... Also I wouldn't mind buying 2 hd4870 and to bad the 4870x2 are not out... Thanks in advance for any input...
