Hello, Right now I'm running:
Intel E2180@3.0Ghz
4GB AData ram
ATI Radeon 4870
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
I think it's about time I get an upgrade, and right now Frys has some good deals on an i7-930 with the MSI X58 Pro-E Motherboard for $309, and they have some decent prices on ram.
Originally I was looking at upgrading to the i5-750, with 4gb of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600, and the Gigabyte P55-UD3P motherboard. Right now both setups would be roughly the same price, but I'm told some i5-750 deals should be coming soon.
Any advice on how I should go about this? I would like the motherboard to be able to run Crossfire so I could just double up on my 4870s when needed. USB3.0 and Sata 6gb/s would be nice, but I suppose they aren't mandatory.
