I never ever get to upgrade my system once it is built. For instance, take a look at my sig and see the last one I put together.
Well, the time has come to build a new one and I want it to be as kick ass as possible without overspending on things I don't really need.
So far I'm looking at a 2200-2500 budget to put my new system together. For the most part I have all my parts picked out.
EVGA 680i mobo
e6600 C2D
Lian Li v1200 case
Seasonic 600 watt modular PSU
2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR1000
2 Seagate Barracudas
couple of optical drives
etc
Now, my question is, is it worth it to get a 8800GTX or GTS? I know that the answer to that question really is speculation but I value the opinions of the people in here. I just don't want to have to spend a couple hundred dollars on something that isn't going to make me happy in the long run (since I never get the chance to upgrade once it is built).
Thoughts?
Thanks everyone
