Man you should hear how much my GTX470 whines :D though most of the whinetime I have headphones so it doesn't seriously matter.

Awesome deal! I paid 150 euros for my Gigabyte GTX470 SOC in January and I won't regret that I bought this. Still runs games pretty good in 1080p. This runs hot and draws a lot of power, but it don't care.

Running with Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.6GHz :p

When I had only these 2x2GB HyperX ddr3-1600 1.65 sticks, I ran these @ 1.75V with no problems. Then I added 2x4GB Sniper ddr3-1333 sticks and now I'm running @ 1.55. I had no problems with 1.65V+ RAM with HyperX's. My CPU is 1055T @ 3.6GHz (doesn't clock much more with 4 RAM sticks... ran @...

Those are not bad clocks, my 8800GT (which is same card as 9800GT) clocked ~700/2000, and it had 6pin.

GTX295 is more likely GTX275 in SLI.. Because the GPUs in GTX295 are with 240 shaders and the memory bus is 448bit, like in a GTX275. :toast:

No problem with that, I'm using an overclocked GTX470 with Antec Earthwatts 500W (2x 17A 12V lines) with no problems. :)

My old HD4850 (with Accelero S1 rev2) was bent quite a lot, but it's still alive. Of course some support is recommended, but at least my gfx cards have survived without any support. :D

I'm saying that Sandy Bridge's speed would be waste in games with this HD4850, if I keep this card then a slower CPU will be enough... C2Q or Phenom II/Athlon II X4 with ddr2...?

Won't need... My HD4850 would be a bad bottleneck. And I don't wan't to change to DDR3 yet because I have ok OC-ddr2's...

Hmm... This machine runs also Crysis Warhead well with gamer preset, effects with enthusiast settings :o Maybe I just get a better CPU..

Hmm. Well, I'd would get an AM2+ mobo (I want to keep these DDR2s :)) and Athlon II X3? Wouldn't Phenom II X2 be ok? Well, of course it is sure that cores can be unlocked, but it isn't sure that they work... Athlon would have at least three cores already... What would be a good and cheap mobo...

Even if I would play games with full details on this resolution? Would still HD4850-Crossfire be waste? :S Those cards are cheap when buy as used nowadays, and it would give some performance boost..? You're saying that I should keep this crap mobo and have E6400 with slow clocks? This just won't...

But my CPU would be an insane bottleneck for better GPU than this overclocked HD4850..? :wtf: Anyway, one friend from irc is selling me an Antec NeoHE 430W PSU at 15 euros, and I think that it's a wonderful deal :) ...and I'm going to buy a GeForce 7800GS AGP from other friend to rig 2 :D

Hmm... So you guys are saying that I should move to ddr3..? Wouldn't Phenom II X4/X6 (or X2 @ X4) be ok with ddr2 mobo? With CF support of course ;) Anyway, I had been thinking all the recommendations that you all have given, and thought something like this... Option 1: An used X38 or P45...
