Hi guys,
System is:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
Intel E6700
Corsair XMS2 4GB PC6400
WD 300GB VelociRaptor HLFS
Corsair TX650W
CoolerMaster 690
I currently have a GT6800 and have a budget of £150 to upgrade. Whilst I'd like to update the M/B, CPU & RAM now, this will have to wait a few pay days. Essentially what I'm looking to do is to upgrade the GPU now then SLI/Crossfire in the future.
I'm a UK resident so newegg is out I'm afraid - I did see this on a UK site:
http://www.dabs.com/products/evga-geforce-gtx-460-763mhz-1gb-pci-e-hdmi-superclocked-ee--external-exhaust--78R2.html
I'm not bothered about the free software, the card looked pretty competitive for price vs performance tho.
My question is, would the 460gtx be the best option if I intend to sli or should I be considering an alternative?
If the 460 is the way to go, is the EVGA a good buy?
Any advice appreciated.
