Hi

I think you are going to want a bigger psu if you go sli.
just sayin.

What did that rig cost you if i may ask>?

:salute:

[Battl3fr0nt]

nice you rly needed the upgrade. no need to sli.. it will do more bad then good in most game's.. you might wanna think about getting a better psu maby a 700 watt

Yea, PSU would be the only thing i would say needs changing. A 600W model ought to do you proud. But good choice on the other parts!

stick to a single card, SLi doesnt work properly,

stick to a single card, SLi doesnt work properly,

2nded SLI seems to be a waste of money

[snakeGS]

yea i was just thinking about sticking with one GPU dont really have the money for a second but im gettin a 1000 watt soon

[=98=]

1000W is complete overkill. Anything over 800W is overkill....

[snakeGS]

so u think 700 will do? i did some web work for a friend beings i just got out of the military so i may upgrade to the GTX but PC club said i can sli this board with nvidia products but other peeps say i cant dont really want to sli but was curious

total rig cost was about 650 because i did web site work for friends and got some stuff free

[looqas]

700W is more than enough even for a SLI to any foreseeable future so it can deliver long time if the PSU will be a quality one.

[snakeGS]

yea but i cant SLI my mobo dont really want to but my mobo only does crossfire

[=98=]

When are you buying this and where you from?

[snakeGS]

buying my PSU? probably in a week or so just got out of the military so im back in my home state CALI

[looqas]

Still I say that buying now a 520W is a waste of money (unless you are really on a tight budget here). Just throw in extra 40 bucks and you'll have a good one.
