Hey Guys,
Iv'e really wanted to do a substantial upgrade to my PC for a while now, and I've got a budget of around $500 to spend.
My system right now is:
Phenom II X4 955
MSI NF980-G65
2x Nvidia GTX 275
4x2Gb DDR3 1600 Ripjaws
XION 1100watt PSU
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB
What I was thinking of doing was getting either a I5-2500k and a ASRock Z68 Extreme4 or a GTX 580.
I am kind of leaning more towards the CPU/Mobo because from what I've read, 2 GTX 275's in SLI are equivalent to a GTX 295 and thats not too far off from a GTX 580.
I could be wrong there though...
Can anyone give me any ideas of a better use of my money?
Thanks
By the way, this PC is 99% for gaming, just in case you had any second thoughts.
