I have a somewhat ageing pc that I am looking to upgrade as cost efficiently as possible so I thought I would ask the community for their input or a solution to work with. I currently am running with the following set-up:
Mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe v1
CPU: i7 920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
Mem: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
PSU: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX
GPU: EVGA GTX 760 Overclocked (2GB VRAM)
HDD: Hybrid 1TB
I was thinking of running another 760 in SLI and upping my ram to 12 GB as I have 3 more memory slots open on the board. Doing a little research I see the mobo I have uses PCI-e 2.0 and not 3.0 and this is unfortunate as it seems ASUS put out a v2 with 3.0 shortly afterwards. I digress though, would it be worth me picking up another 760 to run in SLI on this? Can anyone think of a cheaper or more efficient means of upgrading this rig a little bit? I am also wondering if this can even run the cards in SLI, it has the PSU for it but I wonder about space.
I would be grateful for any and all pointers and help here. My budget is limited to around $200-$250 right now but I will dump probably another $200 the following month again into it. Thank you in advance for any advice.
