| 808617 | 2009-09-10 23:25:00 | So i should splash out for a gtx 285 or 295? | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 808618 | 2009-09-10 23:34:00 | Yes. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 808619 | 2009-09-11 00:03:00 | OK, also should i go for a 750w psu then upgrade the mobo to a xfx 780i with a 3 GHZ c2d e8400? | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 808620 | 2009-09-11 01:18:00 | Meh...you are spending $320 on an old wolfdale cpu, $70 more you could have the latest Lynnfield @ $388 and $214 for the M/B...!! How much are the other parts costing....?....What size is your monitor.....the 275 maybe overkill for your panel, and you could spend it better on current architecture... |

| 808622 | 2009-09-11 01:55:00 | My monitor will be upgraded soon!!! thi card is overkill for what i have got but i don't what to have to upgrade when i get my new monitor. | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 808623 | 2009-09-11 02:00:00 | Even the cheapest Lynnfield 1156 supports CF or SLI, @ $214, thats cheaper than your 780i!....get the latest i5 750 which is faster than any Intel Dual core when running only 2 cores..... The prices will balance each other out....?? |
