Hey all, I have the following:
Self-built: MSI790gx-g65
AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE unlocked 4th core and overclocked to 3.44 GHz
4 GB 1600MHz Corsair RAM (XM3)
700W OCZ XSX PSU
CM HAF922 box
CM212 Hyper+ cooler
Arctic Alumina
Intel G2 80GB SSD
my old EVGA GeForce 9800GT 512MB
and my recently purchased Dell 3007wfp-HC 30" screen
I was wondering if this was worth it to properly ustilize my new screen:
Trade a guy in craigslist my 9800GT and $225 for his ASUS ATI HD 5870 (The one that you can adjust voltage to OC)
Is this a fair price? Normally I like to wait until gfx cards are $150 or lower and then upgrade, but with the new screen, I was considering doing this now, then crossfiring once the 5870s go down to $100 or so.
What do you think?
