Hi all, just wanted a few opinions about upgrading. Ive read around the forums and have pretty much settled on the X58 chipset as i am a gamer so may want to go SLI when my wallet allows, whats the general consensus among you guys about X58 vs H/P55? I should say upfront i do play games and the fact im going midrange at the moment is simply because thats all i can afford. I want the best future proof combo when im able to spend more.
Anyway heres what ive picked out, my budget is no more than $650 for a new CPU, MOBO and RAM;
MOBO: Asus P6T - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131359 - $230
CPU: Core i7 920 D0 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202 - $290
RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145260 -$105
Total: $625
Basically im just looking for recommendations in that price bracket that will sort me out for a few years, any thoughts are welcome, cheers for your help.
