Why Are You Upgrading: my old pc sucks and broke
Hello everyone, need some advice. I had a build in mind from cyberpower, though some people keep trying to sway me against it. Ive heard some horror stories but at the same time ive had 2 good friends of mine buy from them with no problems. Truth is,I'd be willing to shell out an extra 200, if I can get a build from them with the components I want and avoid me messing something up on building my own. Ive had my eye on an i7 3930k, I hear the hyperthreading is really handy especially for rendering. I would like to hear more opinions on this as I'm not too clear on the technical stuff. Same with the gpu,I'm nit quite sure with what to go. Nvidia that's for sure. But 660 ti 2gb x2? 670 2gb x2? One 670 4gb? A single 680 4gb??? Or dual??? Man so many choices!!!! Keep in mind depending on the gpu i might only purchase 1 for themoment. Also, are there any advantages in going 3way Sli?? Ideally, I'd like to purchase 1 card now and then in the next few weeks buy another or even a third unless there's no reason for it, which means I'd also like for mobo and psu to be compatible with said future build.thanks in advance, sorry for the runons and grammar/spelling...I'm posting this from my phone.
