I'm looking to get an SLI configuration.
At the moment I'm deciding to get either two GTX 260 Core 216 or a single GTX 285 and get another a month or two down the road.
1. Is the 260 or 285 better for the money?
2. Will the 850W PSU run both SLI set-ups?
3. Will the 850W PSU run a tri-SLI 260?
4. If yes to 3, Would that be better than a two SLIed 285s?
5. Can the Asus P6t Deluxe V2 Do a tri-sli?
Here's my proposed system.
i7 920
Asus P6t Deluxe V2
Kingston HyperX 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000
Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74GB 10000 RPM / Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM
CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready
I was talked out of a CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 which I know could run the two 285s, but I don't know about the three 260s.
I plan to get these components first and then get water cooling after.
Thank you for your help.
