im looking at my next major overhal of my computer which i plan to do in the next 2 weeks, and im trying to nail down the compoennts i want to purchase.
ive been looking at sli vs. crossfire and have decided on SLi, my main concern is buying too much video card, not enough cpu(though i do plan to overclock)
looking at an Athlon 64x2 4200+, Asus A8N32-Sli Deluxe, Pair of BFG Tech 7900Gt's, and a Pc Power and Cooling 510 express Sli power supply.(will be reusing memory(2 gig of ocz el platinum pc 3200), drives, case etc).
however i cant seem to shake the feeling that the 4200+ wont cut it.
any thoughts or suggestions? the 4200+ is about $80 more than an x2 3800+(3800+ $390, 4200+ $470, and a 4400+ is $600(bear in mind, canadian prices) though an opteron 170 is $460 right now....)
i will be shoppign at ncix.com due to good luck with them in the past, and the fact they are local and can go deal in person if need be.
