ok, hi all
before a month ago, getting a new computer meant going to walmart and saying " WOW, THIS ONE IS ONLY $399.00"
i've been watching vids, reading forums and have a much better understanding and appreciation as of late. i said all that to let u understand that if i sound like a total noob i am...lol
from what i have learned....popular opinion is that a single gpu solution is usually best. so i am trying to understand more about oc'ing the 955 BE i am intersted in building my system around. if i can oc it to 3.8 - 4.0 like most people say it is easy to do, my processor will be sending info much faster to my GPU. Is it better to crossfire/sli? I mean, will i get more performance from my system, avoiding bottlnecks, if i have 2 gpu's? if so, can anyone suggest a good mobo that offers 16 lanes x2. thanx and if i'm missing something please feel free to comment.
oh and i plan on gaming at 1600 x1080 using two 23 inch monitors, albeit, i only want main monitor for gaming and second monitor will have windows open with music or other stuff. price not factor but i dont play crysis. i hate fps. lol
