Help on upgrading my pc...

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hi.. I currently have:

CPU: Q6600 @ stock 2.4ghz
MOBO: EVGA 650i Ultra
RAM: 4GB
PSU: Corsair 650w 52a=12v rail
GPU: EVGA Gtx260 core 216
a hdd, blu ray and a dvdrw...

I plan to upgrade my mobo to overclock my cpu but I can't decide on what to get. Should I get an sli motherboard or just a p45/p43 with just 1 pci-e slot?(since it doesn't support nvidia sli)

I don't have the money to upgrade my mobo and psu at the same time so I'm thinking of just upgrading the mobo first.

If I upgrade my motherboard to an sli one, can my psu take 2 gtx 260?

If it were me I'd just get an inexpensive non-sli board. I used to have SLI but it sucked so I sold my second card. Plus you won't have to buy a new PSU either. you'll be saving a lot of money so you can get an awesome card in the future :) 

The only problem i'm seeing is that when games demand more power, I won't be able to cope up with just a single gtx260. So I would like to go with sli to more future-proof and not wasting my gtx260 by buying a different one in the future.

If you were to go SLI in the future I believe you would need to begin looking at more powerful PSUs. It's dependent on what a 260 requires (I have no clue atm), but if so, it would be an additional cost to consider.
