    New Computer for WoW

    I have a 7 year old piece of crap computer, and it's about time I upgraded a bit. I don't have enough saved for a full-blown gaming computer at the moment, so I'm just looking for a buffer between now and then. I currently only play WoW and surf the internet, so I don't need anything too...

    Go all out now or later?

    Hmm... I suppose if I get a single 4890 now, and sell it later in order to get a 5xxx series or 3xx series, I could keep it to a single card. But it's not like CF and SLI are out of the picture. Perhaps before this generation of processors is obsolete, I'll do one or the other sometime. But...

    Go all out now or later?

    What if I were to use Crossfire or SLI? Would the performance difference be worth getting i7 instead of Phenom II?

    http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3551&p=14 says that the Phenom II's are pretty close in performance to the i7's. Except in Far Cry 2. A Phenom II and an ATi card are going to get raped by the Dunia engine :p

    Go all out now or later?

    Hmm, I didn't notice the 945. I might switch up some of the components to compensate for getting it instead. Edit-This combo looks nice http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.216170

    Go all out now or later?

    I don't exactly see why my current piece of crap (it's 6 years old, and wasn't made for much other than documents and surfing the internet anyways) justifies not getting i7, but I see what you mean by getting a cheaper processor. But won't a PII 940 be bottlenecked by future cards since it's...

    Go all out now or later?

    Hmm...I'm looking at some combos. This one seems quite alluring. It has nearly the same motherboard, the same processor, and the same RAM, but its $80 off. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.216527

    Go all out now or later?

    Oops :D I'm just kind of looking for some feedback on the build, and wondering "aloud" if I should get crossfire 4890's or just a single one (or a different card, for that matter) and just get a new series one when they both come out. I was sort of thinking of getting a cheaper motherboard with...

    Go all out now or later?

    I've been wanting a new computer for a really long time, and I'm getting anxious. I'll be getting one quite soon. But now, when I look around, I see that the setup I have ready isn't worth it right now. Case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146047 Motherboard-...
