I plan to finally upgrade in a few weeks. Not in a massive hurry, as I'm currently too busy to play with the PC for a little bit anyway. Whatever parts I do buy though, I plan to review them for my website. My current system is in my sig.
Firstly, I am wanting to upgrade my motherboard, and was considering the DFI UT NF4 Ultra-D. I am not looking for SLi *now*, but would like to consider it in the future. The lack of an included bridge (if it's still like that) kinda dampers that purchase a little. Does that even really matter?
I am thinking about getting a Venice 3200+, because the 3500+ is a lot more money, and from what I can tell, the 3200+ overclocks almost just as high as the 3500+. Is there any reason to spend the extra $100+ to get the 3500+?
Lastly, I am looking to get a 6800GT. I was going to get an MSI card, but the site I usually buy from are out of stock, so I am looking at an eVGA . On TigerDirect, the cards $485.00, while at NCIX, it's $553.00, no idea why. (Canadian btw)
Anyways, I have cheapo ram for now, just Samsung DDR400 512*2 (3-3-3-7). Unless it's highly recommended I get better ram, I'll stick with this for a little bit.
Is there anything wrong with what I have planned? Should I change anything, or add anything? Not into spending too much money at this point, but I don't want a system that is going to lack something substantial.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks much!
