Current setup from Fall 2011:
i5-2500k, overclocked to 4.3ghz
ASRock Extreme 4 Z68 mobo
2x GTX 570(1.25gb VRAM) in SLI
8GB (2x 4GB @ 1600mhz) Corsair Vengeance RAM
25" ASUS 1080p 16:9 display
Enermax MODU 87+ 900w PSU
I play Battlefield, FarCry 3, Bioshock Infinite.
I will most likely never go multi-display, but am considering 1440p or possibly 4k down the line.
I'm considering purchasing a single 970 GTX (MSI 970GTX 4g) now, and then upgrading the CPU/Mobo and then adding a 2nd and even possibly a 3rd 970 at some point (still unsure about 3-way sli, but by the time I add it, they should be available for cheap on ebay)
I'm not sure how much my current CPU/Mobo will bottleneck the 970, but don't think it will be a huge issue at 1080p.
Any input, suggestions? I'd like to push off the CPU/ MOBO cost as far as possible until I'm ready to up my gaming resolution.
