ok...i'm looking to gather some money to upgrade to SLI.
what i want to do is basically ditch my motherboard, cpu and video card (because i have too) for upgrades in all of those parts. I have been following the tech. slightly but not to the point some of you do, so that's why i'm looking for advice. I really do not have a price range, but here's is what i do want 7800 gtx and an AMD cpu of some sorts. I do not plan to overclock so i guess my motherboard concerns are not that crucial. This is pretty much a gaming machine overall.
So i want to upgrade those 3 parts while keeping everything else i have at the moment, while also spending the least amount of money possible. The one thing i've seen that seems interesting is the deal eVGA has with their video card/motheboard combo....but i'm not sure how good that mother board is. Any suggestions anyone would have would be great, plus anything you think i also would need to upgrade as well becaues it would not work with an SLI system...thanks. check below for current parts.
Athlon 64 3400
XP-90, Vantec Tornado
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
530w OCZ
512x2 PC 3200 Corsair Value Select
eVGA 6800Gt
DVD +/- RW
DVD-Rom
