Ok , I know my specs are in the drop-down but i am right now working with:
i7 920
Asus Rampage Extreme II
ATi 5850 1GB
Power supply is no problem, either are the hard drives. I don't see the ram being an issue either @ 12gb.
So in my mind the motherboard, cpu, & gpu are where the potential upgrades are. I have a budget of around $750usd. So is this something i should be thinking of now? I was gonna hold off for new GPUs but im still in the 5 series and i don't see 8 coming in the next few months. Plus i can always buy one now and XFire later.
I am willing to go nvidia this time around if the price/performance is good.
