I want to upgrade my cpu (from 2.4ghz 4800 x2 dual core) and my 7900gt.
I have an m2n32 sli deluxe so I was thinking that I could go with 2x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130359, $260, good performance (better then a 4870, by a little). I game at 1680x1050, mostly RPGs and RTS (more RPGs).
For proc I was thinking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103274
cheap, probably can overclock to 3.1 or 3.2 (dont know much about OC'ing AMD chips). throw on an aftermarket heatsink and then I would be good to go.
Is that looking like a good choice? Any suggestions?
I am looking to spend less then 400$~ combined on the proc + video card, the better the price/performance, the better.
