Hello, I need some advice about upgrading and i just figured my CH members could help. i've been mulling this over for 3 weeks now and i dont know what to do. Maybe you other members can give some advice to another gamer.
Well currently i have CPU- Core Duo 8500e Wolfdale 3.16 MHZ FAC, Currently 3.767 OC water cooled GPU- Dual water cooled 8800 gtx FAC clocks 576 core, 900 Mem Clck, 1350 Shade Clck, OC to 621/1053,1512 MOBO- EVGA 680i SLI OPERSYS-Vista 64 RAM-8 Gigs Corsair Dominator 10000-c5df Sli ready ddr2 4 dual sticks 1250 MHZ FAC, OC to 1333 max of my FSB PS- PSU 1300 watt Power supply
This system has really been great to me, ive never had a problem playing games at good framerates. I've spent alot of money on my rig, and its been roughly 14 months now that DX11 gpus have been out. I held off the 200 gpu's, the 400 gpu's waiting for at least a triple bump in performance before i upgraded. I've been saving for roughly 2 and a half years now to build another rig. I have two setups im really split between.
1st setup CPU- I7 990x Extreme GPU- Dual 580 gtx in sli MOBO- either 790i or Evga X58 4 way board Ram- Corsair dominator DDR3 ram OPS-Win 7 64
Ive been saving for years and i havent upgraded anything since i bought that last ram kit for my current rig. Please comment on what you guys and/or girls think is the best setup here. Thanks

Those we're closest to can betray us,and total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.
