System Specs:
Motherboard - XFX nForce 680i SLI - LGA775 Socket
Videocards - XFX GeForce 8800GT 512MB SLI
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
Memory - 4gb DDR2
PSU - OCZ-XS 700w
Here's the story. I have $700 burning a hole in my pocket. I saved up for the ATI HD5970 and now can purchase it.
A friend of mine told me I should spend the cash on a new Mobo/Memory/CPU combo instead. ($700)
I can't do both. =(
Which is the better choice? Is there an option C?
