hey all, after weeks of deciding and selecting, i finally have my new rig, mixed with neww and old parts

AMD Opteron 170 Dual-Core
Abit Fatal1ty AN8-SLI s939
InnoVISION nVidia 7800GT 256mb
2x512 Kingston Value DDR RAM
Scythe Ninja cooling :D
160 GB SATA Seagate

I finally bit the bullet and bought this system, regardless of AMD's new Socket AM2 and Intels ressurection with 65nm. I said heck, my last CPU, a P4 2.8ghz with HT was more than capable of running things, FEAR had CPU settings on high, as did everything basically except Source, and my multitasking isnt huge, but enough to warrant Dual-Core :p

I said to myself, the GFX card will be outdating much more than the Opty will, so i plan on going SLI in the next 5-6months, and before tha i will be adding another 2x512 mbs of the Kingston value ram and overclocking teh CPU. So i am curious, how long will it be till i will *need* to upgrade (play games on more minimum Medium settings) at these times:

1. My current system as it is
2. Overclocking to around 2.6, and the extra gig of ram
3all of above plus SLI

thanks :) !
 
It should be fine for two years. Wouldn't expect it to have to play games at 640x480 at minimum detail or something like that until 2009. Past that, your system probably wouldn't mean the games' system requirements... :eek:
 
cool thanks mate, especially with teh extra Kingston value gig, and SLI 7800gt, i guess it should be cool. I was doing well with my 6600GT, except 1680x1050 resolution was killing me :p
