Hi, I just joined the forum and have a quick question for all the experts, so please be gentle.
As the title said, I currently have extra 2k to upgrade my gig which has served me well the last 3 years.
My specs are :
PSU : 850W (don't remember the brand since it's not brand name )
Motherboard : Asus P6T
CPU : i7 920 OC @ 3.8 1.27mV with Cooler Master V8.
Ram : OCZ 12800 6gb gold edition. I think they discontinued, but these serve me well, so I might keep these.
Case : Antec 1200 (kinda regret not going for Cooler Master )
GPU : HD 5770 Diamond OC @ 960/1350 mhz. stock voltage.
Right now, I have three options in mind : all the gtx 580 i'm talking about are 3gb version, so they are more expensive than the 1.5gb one. Only NVIDA cuz I want physx
1) Go with U2711 for $800 (ebay) + 580 Sli ($1000) + new PSU (AX 1200 for $250) = $2050
Or
2) Go with Surround with 120hz ($750) and same setup ~ $2000
Or
3) Keep my current monitor (asus 24" lcd 60hz) and add two more 60hz for cheap + one gtx 580 ($550) ~ 1000 and spend 1k left for i7 2600k + usb 3.0 sata 6 motherboard + liquid cooling.
All advices are appreciated....Sorry for writing to much but I want to put all my thoughts out there.
