so here are my current specs:

Intel C2D e8400
Gigabyte p35 DS3l
4GB PC 6400 OCZ RAM
Windows VISTA HOME PREMIUM x64
Zotac 8800gt AMP! edition
320gb HARD DRIVE 7200rpm
i game at 1680 x 1050.

So, i'm getting my summer paycheck and i want to continue upgrades. I believe that the first thing to do is upgrade the motherboard followed by adding a second 8800gt in SLI. Does that sound right. Here's what i'm thinking. budget is $300



Asus P5N-D Motherboard- Nvidia nforce 750i SLI socket 775 ATX audio PCI expres 2.0
159.99 on Tigerdirect.com 7/11/08

Zotac 8800gt AMP! Edition
149.99 on Newegg 7/11/08


$309.98

Original post states that I game at 1680 x 1050, and after talking with a professional, i believe that i should not spend any money until i can't play anything on medium settings.

thanks,
