Allright, so this is my first post in the TPU forums, even tough I check this site everyday. My regards to everyone
So, after a much-prolongued waiting (about 4 years) I am about to start upgrading my desktop (as seen in the system specs).
Unfortunately, a full upgarde won't be possible. As such, my immediate plans are to upgrade the graphics card and the PSU, besides buying another 1Gb of DDR2.
I'm planning on aquiring an HD5850. That's decided.
Now, on to the PSU. Which of these would you go for?

180$ (120€)
OR
http://www.corsair.com/products/tx/default.aspx
Corsair TX-750 - 180$
http://www.nox-xtreme.com/products_uk.php?cat=2&type=0&id=52
goes for about 135$ (90€)
OR
http://www.corsair.com/products/tx/default.aspx
Corsair TX-650 - 135$
The thing is, I'm not sure if I buy a PSU capable of Crossfiring in the future, or if I should just go with a single-card configuration
If you could, please, help me decide
I know my CPU and ram will (evidentely) bottleneck my GPU, bue we've got to play with what we have, right? But if you can give me an heads-up on exactly HOW MUCH will it hurt my Crysis framerate?
Thanks in advance
