Hi all,
This may sound like a silly question, but I'm seriously debating the relevancy of the cost involved with this potential upgrade and whether it's realistic, or if I should just hold off for now.
I'm currently running two MSI GTX 660s (non Ti, model N660 TF 2GD5/OC) in SLI with a Corsair HX750 PSU. I'm considering upgrading to two MSI GTX 770s (model N770 TF 2GD5/OC) in SLI with a Corsair HX850 PSU. This upgrade is going to run me around $830 to $850, based on current New Egg pricing.
From what I'm gathering in my research, an 850 watt PSU will be needed for two 770s in SLI, my HX 750 just isn't going to cut it.
So, I've got about $1K to play with, give or take $100. In terms of the overall performance increase I'd get with two 770s vs. the two 660s I already have, I'm wondering if the upgrade would be worth the money I'd end up spending?
It's either that, or I'm just going to forget the whole thing and spend a little more for a Lenovo Y510p laptop for some mobile gaming.
I'm so torn right now!!! Let me know what you think. System specs detailed in my signature for more reference. Thanks!
