Current specs for this build:
i7 920 @ 4.0GHz
ASUS P6X58-E
4GB RAM (1600 MHz)
Coolermaster V8
GTX 260
750W PSU
Uses: Gaming and Photoshop
Playing at 1920x1080 on a 23" monitor.
Main Games: Champions Online/DC Universe/FF14/STALKER/Crysis/CoD/Sims 3/AoE3
Basically I'm selling my GTX 260 to family for £60 - I can pick up a GTX 295 for £210 as stated. I'm wondering if this is; 1. A good price and 2. a worthwhile upgrade.
The other thing that is making me reconsider is from what I understand, the 295 takes a 6pin+8pin input and my PSU only has 2x 6pin (with no 8pin covertor/adaptor). Does that mean an upgrade is required?
