Heya
Here is the current setup:
Motherboard: ASrock M3A790GXH/128M
Processor: AMD Phenom II x955 BE C2
RAM: OCZ 1600 Gold edition 3G18002G 4 GB's in 2 sticks
GPU: 2x Gainward 4850HD in crossfire
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W
Case: Antec 902
I'm upgrading this grandpa.
I've decided to go for a Cayman when they will come out, aka HD 6970. So I'm wondering, besides buying a new PSU (obviously 600w isnt enough for a cayman) and 3 sticks of 2gb triple channel ram, should I also pick up a new AM3 motherboard such as Asus Crosshair IV Formula? I will be upgrading this phenom later on, and im not sure if these motherboards are future proof because what i've heared is that Phenoms will be replaced with Bulldozers (Zambezi) soon, and if so, i will buy one.
Also any suggestions on the PSU, RAM and the mobo?
tl;dr
worth buying new am3 board in wait of new cpu or should i wait?
