Hi guys, I recently built a my first gaming pc and didnt go all out on it. I am wondering about upgrading a bit more for the new games coming (crysis 3, borderlands 2 etc). Current specs are.
Asrock Z77 extreme 4
i5 3570k
Corsair 750 watt PSU
8GB 1600 DDR3
MSI GTX 560 ti HAWK edition card
I am wondering what performance difference i would see between getting another 560 in SLI or getting one of the new 660s that everyones raving about. The price isnt too much more compared to other options.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next month or so
BUDGET RANGE: $200-$300
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Bf, Crysis (not necessarily ultra graphic settings
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: MSI GTX 560 ti Hawk running off Corsair 750 watt psu
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: (e.g., make/model of CPU, MoBo, memory - this can help us determine whether or not a given card is compatible with and makes sense for your system. For high-end cards, knowing your case/cooling setup may also be helpful)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Not fussed
PARTS PREFERENCES: NA
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080,
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: What do i need to keep in mind if SLI is the better option, regarding power and cooling.
