Hello,
I just got a FSP Auram Gold 700w psu for my system, and planned on upgrading from my gtx 460 768mb to a hd 6850 CF setup(i would trade my GTX 460 for my friends hd 6850, then purchase a second 6850). If i were to go for a HD 6950 or Gtx 570, this would force me to sell my GTX 460 on ebay, then collect money to purchase one of these cards. Overall, it would be a much easier process to go with the HD 6850 set up, but i want to get another opinion. The main use for my computer is gaming, watching movies, and browsing the internet(which i really need a crossfire setup for lol) My specs are below, and thank you for any replies.
Specs:
FSP Auram Gold 700w psu
MSI 790gx-65 motherboard (x16, x4)
8gb Gskill ddr3 1600 ram
AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4 ghz (will be overclocked to 4.0ghz soon)
Cooler Master Gemini II cooler
2 x 1tb Samsung 7200rpm 32mb cache hdds
1 dvd burner
Antec Skeleton
Acer 21.5" 1080p Monitor
Dell 17" 1024 Monitor
Also, i know everyone says "get a (insert higher end card) now then get a second later" but that is a lot of money and i will not be doing that at any point.
