Hopefully this is the fight forum to post this in, I didn't see any sub-forum for "what's my comps bottleneck" type questions.
I currently have the current system setup:
Core i7 870 @ 2.93
8 gigs Corsair DDR3 1600MHz
GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5
Intel Extreme DP55KG Motherboard
1000w Power Supply
Wondering what my bottleneck is being a gamer is it my CPU? Graphics Card? Need more RAM?
If its my graphics card I'm thinking of getting either a GTX 670 or dual SLI two GTX 660ti's (assuming I have a high enough power supply to support double cards? Didn't see any power needs for this on card reviews). I've always wanted to get a triple monitor set up going, and I think now is the time.
So, if my bottleneck is my graphics card, what would you guys say is a better way to go? As far as I can tell its $400 for a slightly more powerful single GFX card in the 670, vs $600 for double time via the 660ti's. I'm assuming dual 660ti's would be a large step more powerful than a single 670 and 200 bucks isn't going to break the bank.
Thanks for any help/comments/suggestions in advance, and again I hope I put this in the most related forum section.
