as it says in the title, im looking to change my cpu from an amd x4 640 to an fx-8320 and from an 8800 gts to a 560 ti, with sli in the future. anyoone know what sort of perfomance i will be looking at at 1080p on max for general games?

ive had a look, and i can get a 7850 for £120 which is meant to be good performance, how much better than 560 sli will it perform? bearing in mind i can get a 560 used for around £60-70

im not really too bothered about power consumption if thats what you mean, although if i go for a 7850 then that means no need for a new psu. i dont care about things like 3d mark 11, but i will get into video rendering when i start youtube soon. anything else i have missed that you meant?

i have found that 2gb models are going on ebay for around £100-110. if i get a 7850 then i dont need to get a new psu or motherboard for now, although i probably will anyways. so with an fx-8320 and a 7850, what sort of performance will i get? what about if i go crossfire in the future?

dont do crossfire, the performance gains are very small, if you want a dual gpu set up go nvidia, FX cpus perform better doing sli over crossfire anyways, as funny as that my be its true
